KOSA update:
For anyone who hasn't seen (me included lol), the verge has put out an article about KOSA and how its not as clear if congress will pass it now as multiple other bills are competing against it and legislators are struggling to decide which to back.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/29/24086559/kids-online-safety-act-schatz-tech-groups
One of the proposed bills is this one
In short, instead of making a bunch of tech bros surrogate parents on the internet, instead it would invest a ton of money into actually going after and investigating actual child predators, modernize the cyber tipline, and do research on prevention/ detection programs, among a few other things.
So please, if you're American, you still have time to call up your reps and tell them you're against Kosa, which is good, but giving them suggestions like this bill is better
GUESS WHO ENTERED RANTEMBER YEEAH
DAY #1: Ranboo but only using brand colors
I wasn't really sure how to do this one but i hope it's okay :]
I'm giving him a scarf just so that he can match with his gf good morning (imissthemsmi'mgonnathrowmyselfinsideanaquarium)
Ranboo teaches you how to improve your marriage life :D
How did Gumball and Marshall meet?
What did the two think of each other?
Most fan stories I've read show that they hated each other from their first interaction.
I love your version of this beautiful couple ๐๐
Ooooooo I was just thinking about their story together! I think I still have some tweaks to do with my own interpretation of them but I have some ideas.
I believe they met when The Candy Kingdom was giving its baby steps, maybe as a simple candy village or something, and Marshall Lee just stumbled across it one day. Marshall never did anything to actively harm it, but he didn't interact with anyone there, he was probably interested in something else, like the founde- I mean, the food there.
I think the candy citizens would be terrified seeing a dark shadow passing back and forth rapidly near their houses and stealing their candy, and he'd become some kind of boogeyman or the chupacabra to them lmfao (I like to think that some older candy citizens would still use his "legend" to scare the younger ones and make them behave)
They kinda start off on the wrong foot in this too, sorry anon ๐ But it's just because Gumball now wants to catch this candy stealer and help his poor citizens have a peaceful night of sleep for once after weeks, and gets incredibly frustrated on the way. He finds a way, though. Either by setting a trap to catch Marshall Lee himself when he's shapeshifting, or by catching something else that unintentionally lures him... like a zombie cat who keeps showing up at the crime scene. (Or both too, I guess that works.)
Okay so now Marshall is mad (picture a small bat fuming that he has to be in a cage), his cat is mad, and Gumball is freaked out by the fact that there was a zombie cat wandering around his village and he didn't even realize it, potentially putting his citizens in risk of infection (Schwabelle wouldn't infect anyone tho, she's a good kitty), so now what? This nerd is going to study them, ofc. Especially Marshall Lee once Gumball finds out he's a vampire.
Vampires are practically extinct since Marshall Lee also became a vampire hunter in this universe, but I believe that the people who managed to survive their attack long enough also managed to leave behind records about them, stating their habits, their abilities and whatnot.
I know that, due to canon events, this would probably be out of character in insane levels but,, , I like to think that Gumball would be thrilled to have met Marshall simply because he's a vampire. He's read the records and would've liked to study more about the vampires (both out of interest and because he'd try to figure out the most effective ways to take them down but that's for another day-). The only reason he stayed was because Gumball offered him food and somewhere to stay during the day so he wouldn't burn to death, and because Gumball wouldn't give his cat back until he was sure she wasn't dangerous. If she was safe, he'd give her back and Marshall Lee could do whatever he wanted after they were done.
Marshall Lee would be thrown off by all that because first of all, stranger danger, and second of all, what the fuck.
Marshall Lee was more suspicious of Gumball than Gumball was of him. Gumball just kept asking questions about his vampirism and studying his physiology. Stuff like checking his abnormally low temperature and slow pulse, examining his shapeshifting, reading the records all over again and playing checklist to see how many different skills Marshall Lee could score... It was weirdly amusing for Marshall to see Gumball so fascinated over things that had become normal to him.
I think they would start bonding once they find out they're both immortal, and they'd cling to each other because of it. Gumball would listen to Marshall Lee's stories and Marshall Lee would listen to Gumball's. He was still a little weirdo to Marshall, but a weirdo who's passionate about his interests and managed to create living sentient people out of food, that was impressive. Gumball thought of him as one of a kind. No pun intended. Maybe.
I think that's all I have to say about them right now :P Thank you for the ask! ๐๐ซถ
Hello, I'm very alive still! And i brought a c!beeduo AU with me :D
TikTok has been recommending me Steven Universe clips, and I'm watching every single one of them, so here's them as gems
(I'm not a professional at Steven Universe lore, I haven't watched that show since I was a kid and I never engaged in lore discussions back then, and i still don't, this is just for fun :P)
Ranboo is a Blue Chalcedony (Memory enhancement, layers of information, benevolence and harmony), they're pretty much built like a pearl but more focused on being a personal agenda and a lorekeeper. They're supposed to know everything and remember everything important, but Ranboo is very forgetful and disorganized, they take more notes than their peers and that leaves them with a mess of things to read and remember.
Tubbo is a Tiger eye (Authority, leadership, self-confidence and protection), they're a soldier gem, a rather bossy one, in fact. They act as a troop general, and their leadership and guidance naturally makes newborn gems follow them. Though, that doesn't mean they're as confident, or that think higher of themselves, as they seem to be.
They're such close friends :)))))
He bakes pastries for her ๐ญ She's his hero ๐ญ
This guy's love language is gift giving, i'm convinced
"I have... Heart! I have character! I have the power to kick children!" - Ranboo
IT'S THE BELOVED'S BIRTHDAY, so here's a redraw of my first Ranboo fanart, oh how times change เฒฅโ โฟโ เฒฅ
(I hope this is comprehensible enough, i struggle with English sometimes.)
Ran is a bit of a picky eater. This one is because he canonically prefers meat, and also projection. Lots of projection. He's the kind of fella who will die internally if he bites into something weird in his food. And he hates onions. Fuck onions.
Listen, i know Jackie bodyslammed him two or three times during the fic but he gets better when he gets older, trust me- /hj
He purrs. That's just common sense. /j
Ran purrs for a variety of reasons, either because he's hurt (cats do that!), or because he's content and comfortable, or even because he's trying to convey safety to whoever he's comforting in the room. This is just an Enderman headcanon i have in general.
Ran has either a book or notes he wrote himself on how to properly comfort people and what to do/say to them. Jackie's "thinking sessions" were one of the biggest reasons he decided to do his research.
He DOES roll in the grass, you can't fool me, Aetherman.
His love language is Acts Of Service.
He likes how makeup looks on others but can't use it himself because it feels weird on his skin. This one is because i think Enderman skin might be different from other creature's skin. It's also a bit of a projection, idk why that happens.
He's not into PDA (Public Display of Affection) and gets awkward when it comes to kissing in public. He tends to "playfully" dismiss Jackie's attempts to do so.
Ran still has several pockets in his clothes and carries several things inside them, he's always the first one to be asked if he has *insert certain thing* because someone else is needing it. Safety pins and hair clips are at the top of the list.
He can see in the dark. Terminus doesn't have a sun so I assume it doesn't have strong light sources either, so it makes sense to me.
In addition to that, there are times when he doesn't like the bright sunlight of the Overworld, especially when he wakes up and is still too tired to properly process his surroundings.
He sleeps in the most uncomfortable-looking positions ever and he's always clinging to something, or someone, while he sleeps.
Ran and Jackie have matching rings. Or necklaces. I like matching jewelry.
Ran goes to the library, this is what he gets: History, Historical fiction and Detective and Mystery.
On the other hand, this is what Jackie gets: Dystopian, YA, Self-Help and Romance and I'll stand by that.
Ran might join him to read and talk about the Romance books, which is another way to say that he'll hear Jackie slander the shit out of the story because he didn't like it.
They might also try to recreate some scenes, and the characters' expressions. The more ridiculous, the better.
Jackie purposely leaves his hair messy because he knows Ran will get annoyed and fix it for him, hence the hair clips.
Neither Ran nor Jackie can cook for shit, and when they do, they always need to have a Cook Book next to them.
Jackie pulls the "Should've killed me when you had the chance" card on Ran. Constantly. /lh
Jackie's love language is Quality Time. But he makes it seem like it's Physical Touch.
He's often the little spoon. I said what I said.
Jackie tends to swing between feeling really good when Ran looks out for him and feeling really weirded out too. It's nice to finally have someone who genuinely cares for you after your previous one came to a tragic end. But Jackie is used to having to fend for himself and be independent from a young age, so there are times when he thinks he's being a burden, or his brain just short-circuits with the attention.
"Would you still love me if i was a worm?" "Again these stupid questions, what the fuck do you want from me-"
"You're the reason why shampoo bottles have instructions." - Ran to Jackie at any opportunity given. Affectionately.
Ran occasionally visits Watson's cell. Because he needs advice. Watson highly considers sabotaging him sometimes.
Jackie is the kind of guy who would secretly do the middle finger in pictures.
Ran is the kind of guy who would notice it first and scold him for that.
Ran has several boxes of puzzle games in his room. And also monopoly. For some reason he keeps going to jail.
Not exactly a headcanon but i just can't be the only who thought of a cockatoo when Ran's spines were mentioned lmao
Ran has a notebook full of drawings and possible designs for clothes. He might use Jackie as his model once in a while.
If they had a more "specific" ship name, i think it would be either Desert Bluebells or Jackknife. Knifetrick also works, but if you wanted to know my other suggestions-
I think that's all for now!
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading! :D
I love the hc that Marshall Lee has a cat called Schwabelle sm that's his baby
I made her a tuxedo cat because I couldn't decide whether I wanted her to be a black cat or a white cat ๐ซด
