Yaz and Sammy living the life I wish I had. Sapphic dinosaur ranch owners lol. Ft. Bumpy in the background
Of course I had to draw these two. Their kiss/confession scene is on repeat in my mind all the time and I’m still so just in awe that it happened. Here’s to hoping they stay together and happy throughout all of Chaos Theory! @campbenji
Timelapse undercut:
Song used in Timelapse (and is the same one I listened to on repeat while working on this)-> Real Love by Cat Clyde
I get critiquing a ship or a character in a ship. I get not agreeing with a ship. I even get not liking a ship. But I don’t get what’s going on with the KAs bc every once in a while I’ll see one of their posts and it’s nothing but hatred for ZK in the comments💀 Zuko is a colonizer, Aang deserved Katara, Katara being with Zuko is wrong bc it would hurt Aang, they had 3 kids, etc etc etc. Like can we just have fun😭 yes critiquing media is apart of that fun but that’s not what those comments are and it’s getting weird (it’s been weird tbh)
Anyways got any ZK fic recs??? I’m currently reading Consume Me with Fire, Flood Me with Desire by Dacamia and I’m liking it so far
When the season ended I thought the most likely couple to get (or get back) together first of the throuple (to set things in motion/kick things off) was royjamie followed by jamiekeeley followed by roykeeley. but the further removed we get from the season the more I think it’s very hard to say whether Roy figuring stuff out in therapy + breaking free from his intense repression or Keeley getting what she needs to out of her single era before being ready to be in a relationship again would happen first. And my increasingly favorite scenario is actually jamiekeeley getting together + Roy joining in shortly thereafter after a healthy bout of pining and an “oh no I’m left out” :( era to push him along in his Realizations
People seemed to really like Lars’s power so imma explain them real quick. This is for all the @sharksandjays fans lmao
Lars is the new elemental Master of Form. But they have no memory of how they gained their power, nor how long they had it. And they don’t exactly believe Fynn when he says they had them for a long time.
But instead of being able to change appearances, Lars’s power focuses more on the “shape” in “shape shifting”. They’re able to change between different forms of matter, being able to change their body into liquids and gases and back again.
But they can’t really control it. The element seems to have mutated when it was pasted on to them for unknown reasons. So they’re state and form is now directly tied to their emotions, more specifically their stress levels and ability to stay calm.
Let’s just say, Lars is having a hard time keeping calm. After the Merge, they had lost all documentation of their existence. And considering the fact they lost their memories RIGHT before the Merge, it was the worse time to lose their memories.
They’re going through a lot, especially in the mental section. They can often have panic attacks and mood swings. But they found a few ways to keep their body together as they fall apart from the inside. (That’s actually partially why they have belts in their outfit. It helps keep them together, somewhat.)
Their body abides by the rules of evaporation, condensation, and freezing. While it’s mostly tied to their emotions, temperature can help. So it often results in Lars running to the nearest fridge before they start fully falling apart. It’s rough, especially if they melt at the same rate as they freeze, but it’s better then fully evaporating.
I came up with their power first, but they were also inspired later down the line by Mort from the movie “Treasure Planet”
I love ship fics. I really do. But honestly I think fandoms focus on ships way too much and forget about the platonic relationships that are already there, and it makes me kind of scared to post the fic I’m writing. I’m writing a deeply devoted platonic friendship, and I’m so fuckin afraid of writing them actually being devoted to each other because it seems every single platonic thing ever that anyone can do with another person gets taken as romance, when I DO NOT ship the people I’m writing, and I don’t want them to be taken as a ship either.
like god I want my chaos teens to hug, cry on each other’s shoulders, fall asleep in a pile on the floor after spending 2 nights straight working, be practically inseparable, and STILL BE FRIENDS. They will never be more than friends! They’re both aroace damn it.
Anyhow I’m just venting bc three quarters of the fics for my fandom are ship fics and half of those ship fics are nasty as fuck.
When shippers make a character into a caricature and lesser than they actually are in order to support their ship and claim that it’s everyone else in the fandom’s fault
i’ve been keeping it to myself cause i wanted to wait til the end to really form an opinion about it but there are a few things w s4 that i’m not vibing with, but it’s funny to see the criticism in the tag every week be 97% ship based bc honestly that’s one thing i have like, zero complaints about
okay but barbara kean and edward nygma both started out as good, friendly people, both struggled with a darker side of themselves, both dealt with drug use and childhood abuse, both had downhill character arcs in S1 that culminated in a traumatic event triggering a mental breakdown, both became flashy villains with a flair for drama and violence, and ofc they’re both bisexual icons
my POINT is their chemistry and parallels were wasted on Ed’s revenge arc and we were robbed of them being not only an iconic power duo but also besties 💔
nothing to me will ever be more iconic than my beloved mutual managing to get me so invested in a (rarepair) ship for a media i had no previous interaction with that i was actively making my own headcanons abt their potential relationship dynamic and making song associations and engaging in others’ brainrot for months before i ever even considered getting in to said media. and now a year later i’m finally writing fic for them but still know next to nothing abt what they’re like in canon cause i still haven’t made it to that part of the story, the memories of the shared delusion are genuinely the only thing keeping me going.
