if i nickel for every time a frail (,queer,) thirtyish year old man with way too much curiosity for his own good and a dead female assistant with round glasses nearly died in an explosion and came back as something not quite human because of the nature of the forces he was messing with and later on became a lowkey jesus figure with his new powers...
edit: and then was killed by his partner for the perceived greater good, fulfilling a promise they had made earlier
EDIT: AND HAD A "WHERE YOU GO I GO" TYPE SITUATION WITH THEIR PARTNER IN A TOWER WHERE THEY BOTH AMBIGUOUSLY KIND OF DIED TOGETHER TO SAVE THE WORLD
id have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happed twice, right?
Pretty boys pretty eyes
there was a point in Gotham where the nightlife dynamics got really weird because one of the batkid’s came up with the game ‘rogue Pokémon’ where whenever there was a multiple-rogue outbreak they would all split up and find a rogue to choose as their own, and then while fighting them they’d subtly heard them towards one of the other batkids and their chosen rogue, and then they’d manipulate the rogues into fighting each other while they stood to the side and yelled fighting techniques like Pokémon trainers, and eventually the rogues started teaming up with Batman to make them stop playing it because it was making them feel objectified and demeaned.
the game came to a natural conclusion when the Joker broke out specifically because he thought it would be fun to be one of the Pokémon used by the batkids, except when he made himself known to Red Hood Jason just shot him point blank in the skull and said it was the rogue Pokémon equivalent of using a masterball on him.
the batkids are banned from creating their own games.
having a resting bitchface is so funny because i'll be doing something relaxing, and really enjoying myself and my face will look like this
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, Protector Of the Northmost Winds and Skies
(materialized Hiccup and notes below the cut)
I re-read the fic again and man did i remember how much i loved it!!
I really wanted to draw Hiccup as spirit and have a go at what i thought his design would be. I tried blending the costume designs from the second and third How To Train Your Dragon movies for the leather armor and the fur cape was SO MUCH FUN to work with!
I also put silver birch leaves on the pauldron because they symbolize new beginnings and protection and thought it was pretty fitting. And i think it's dope as fuck and i can do what i want so why not.
And i'll admit, i did listen to Hozier quite a bit while working on this because 1) Francesca is SO THEM and 2) I, Carrion absolutely hits as well.
thank you @jjackfrost for the wonderful story you wrote and shared with us. It's a blessing to read and it got me back on my HTTYD and ROTG middle school hyperfixation so thanks <3
So ahhhhh I wanted a silly avatar with an aroace flag and dinosaur, but I didn’t find one that was the appropriate level of silliness, so I made it for myself and along with the others on the spectrum, enjoy
Concept: Peter actually got bitten by a totally normal spider. It's just a coincidence that his mutant powers were awakened around the same time

Modern au where Odysseus has to work overseas away from his family (he stays with Diomedes)
it’s the fact that ed doesn’t know. he doesn’t know that badminton kidnapped stede with the intent to kill him. he doesn’t know that stede was so filled with self-hatred that he ran back home because he believed what badminton said: that he defiled beautiful things. and ed is the most beautiful thing he knows of. ed doesn’t know that stede is completely in love with him and knows it now. ed doesn’t know stede concocted the most elaborate and ridiculous fuckery (with the help of his awesome wife) to fake his death just so he could sail off and find ed and be with him forever. because faking your death means you have no intention of ever coming back; stede faking his death was a commitment to ed. and ed doesn’t know that stede is waxing poetic about him and staring at the moon thinking about him and being oh so in love with him.
instead, ed thinks stede lied to him about ed making him happy. he thinks stede lied to him about how much he cared for him. he thinks stede just up and left, because he’s ed and no one good stays for him.
