the intro to devil may cry 4 will always be funny to me. imagine you’re attending church at the vatican, held by the pope himself, and then the actual jesus christ comes crashing through the ceiling and shoots the pope in the head
Hc that since Arthur basically always wears his hat when around others, he uses it to conceal/hide his emotions by tilting his head down so his hat covers his face.
Except he's been hanging around Charles so much that sometimes he's caught without his hat for whatever reason. So when he tries to hide a smirk or a frown (or a blush for my charthur shippers) he instinctively looks down forgetting he doesn't have his hat.
Anyway Charles is observant and picks up on the tell super quick. He can tell when something's up bc Arthur hides behind his hat (or the absence of one).
Well Arthur isn't even aware that he does this and is equally curious and terrified of how easily Charles can read him. No one has ever been able to pick up on his small emotional cues or if they did they didn't mention it while Charles knows almost immediately. Arthur probably thought at one point or another Charles had mind reading capabilities because it is the only explanation he could think of.
And the whole time Arthur thinks he is good at concealing his emotions when it's really just his hat.
what if odysseus never took polites’s headband off, it just got more and more buried in his growing hair as his mercy was not yet gone, just hidden?
what if after the crew was struck by lightning in thunder bringer, zues doesn’t vaporize them completely, and just leaves a little scrap of all of their capes left, so now little colored scraps of fabric dot the battlefield of all of the men odysseus just chose to have die?
then, what if, after that, he takes the scrap of eurylochus’s cape and ties it around his wrist? (edit: what if odysseus gave it to citemine after he got home and she wears it as a hair tie…)
what if, during 600 strike, odysseus only has the strength to stab a god because polites, eurylochus, and the other 598 men are all holding the trident with him, he just can’t see it?
what if, instead of attacking odysseus along with the others in thunder bringer, eurylochus runs up and stands in front of odysseus, protecting his brother one last time before he dies? (hehe got that one from a fanfic)
…what if?
I headcanon that all of Yoda's finest teacups were made by younglings
In fact most masters of the order's finest teacups were made during crèche crafting time when the kids were learning pottery.
@nerdasaurus1200 hey look who it is
Explanation of some design choices under the cut
-> I refuse to give any of my Greek character designs really short hair, though if I'm being honest this is still shorter than I wanted to go
-> Kinda tried to keep the base a little more evidently similar looking? Turns out Danny is kinda buff (see videos relating to the boxing(?) thing)
-> Ooh so the pendant thing is based off the first gizmobot with the anchors for eyebrows
-> I regret not giving him a hubris bell but it's probably for the best lest it give away his hiding spot during the cyclops encounter
-> I also regret giving him long sandals, that's gotta hurt the leg hair; will draw them shorter next time
AU where Anakin sat through one too many of Obi-Wan's and Padmé's rants of how Palpatine is absolutely infuriating and doesn't let them do anything to actually advance the war effort and aid to battle-torn planets because "the Senate will never vote favourably on that" or "this is the will of the Senate" or "i cant see the Senate allowing you to speak on this", and how he never even brings these proposals to the floor unless he's diplomatically forced.
So, when it comes time for Sidious to turn Anakin to the dark side and establish his empire, it goes kinda like this:
Palpatine: you cant trust the order, anakin
Anakin:makes sense
Palpatine: the Senate is compromised
Anakin: i know
Palpatine: the Republic should be ruled by a person with a strong will, capable of bringing peace and justice to it!
Anakin's totalitarian ass: Agreed!!!!!
Palpatine: and with your help, I can be that person!
Anakin:..... no offense, ily man, but you're kinda useless
Palpatine:... What
Anakin: its okay! You just dont have the strong woll that it takes, but i know who has, i'll be right back!
Palpatine: WTF, NO, DONT RUIN MY COUP *pulls out red lightsaber*
Anakin: oh shit *levitates a paper weight and knocks palpatine out with it*
Anakin: ... guess i found the sith master
Anakin:... Now, what to do with this conveniently planned coup....
*five minutes later*
Anakin: so, as the most competent people and the best diplomats i know, how would you two like to flip a coin for who gets to rule the galaxy?
Obi-wan, dragged from the council chambers by the arm:....
Padmé, pregnant and woken up by Anakin dragging Obi-wan to her apartment:....
Anakin: or you guys can share the power, would u like that? I like that idea, i think
Anyways, Palpatine was all talk no action and i think Anakin's diplomat family unit would have clocked that and ranted about it if he didnt look like a maniac out to beat you every time someone mentioned that the Chancellor might be wrong abt smt.
he nailed it your honor
P: now get in the water.
A version of the Warrior Penelope AU where instead of everything being swapped, it’s just an AU where Odysseus successfully made everyone believe he went mad and didn’t go to war but Penelope went instead because she’s damn pissed that someone kidnapped her cousin.
Also because Menelaus is not about to disrespect Penelope of Sparta.
teen wolf didn't make stiles a werewolf because they knew he would be finding increasingly absurd ways around all the absurd Werewolf Rules. some bad guy tries to trap him in a circle of mountain ash and he reveals he's been carrying one of these bad boys in his backpack for months
I think this happened in 'odysseus'
Telemacus: *fighting against the suitors, holding his ground but he's slipping*
Telemacus: *sees ody in the shadows, bow aimed at him and the suitors*
Telemacus: *stops fighting abruptly and goes slack*
Suitor: haha, got him
Ody: finally I can actually shoot my damn bow without hitting my kid
Odysseus: How many suitors are there? Servant: 128. Though, twenty of them formed a guard, after Antinous turned out to be a dick. Odysseus: *Thinking* Servant: Ten are away with the prince, the other ten are keeping guard over Penelope. Odysseus: Why? Servant: They're being bodyguards Odysseus: No, why did they come if they're not seeking the Queen's hand? Servant: Oh, they're trying to convince the Prince to marry their daughters. *Meanwhile* Guard #1: *Watching Telemachus with one of his friends* I'm starting to think the Prince might be swinging the other way. Guard #2: That's alright, I've got a son.

I just read the fic friend of humanity by bluestone_dragon recently (which, absolutely amazing fic btw, if you haven’t read it go do that rn) and I’ve also had tiny (humongous) Star Wars hyper fixation going on. And it just made me think.
What if instead of percy getting thrown into the Witcher, he was thrown into Star Wars? Specifically the mando civil wars.
Like, guys
The haat’mando’ade would adopt all of camp halfblood so fast it’s not even funny

Fic link if anyone needs it ^
would you still love me again?
this is canon i dont make the rules😌

it’s the fact that when percy and annabeth graduate from their high schools, annabeth’s estranged family is gonna fly out to NYC
which means there will almost certainly be an awkward dinner with both families.
“hey we’re the chases, the family who neglected, gaslit, and emotionally abandoned annabeth. but we feel really bad and we’re trying to do better.”
“hey we’re the blofis-jacksons, aka the loving family of your daughter’s boyfriend who took her in and loved her as our own after you neglected, glaslit, and emotionally abandoned her.”
except none of them actually say it. they’re all just thinking it.
sally has major mom beef with them, paul is trying to be nice but is skeptical, frederick feels guilty and awkward, mrs. chase is flat out uncomfortable, the twins are causing absolute chaos, annabeth is a wreck, percy’s making jokes every 17 seconds to attempt to diffuse the tension, and baby estelle is just vibin
i feel like a lot of wine would be consumed
and I’ve read some really good stories and poems and songs.
But I feel like we’re all missing a large part of any culture, that which is the foundation for all the stories and rituals and prayers of any group of people.
We’re missing the children.
what are nursery rhymes but stories told by children? what are games but rituals performed by children?
-
Red bird, red bird, Come and play Depur’s at market for the rest of the day Take a friend to hide while we all pray Then red bird, red bird, fly away
-
Its a combination of tag, hide and seek, and duck duck goose
Everyone stands in a circle (holding hands or hand clapping is optional)
One child is “depur at market” who walks inside the circle and is only allowed to look at the person in front of them, as if examining the slaves being sold
Another child is Ekkreth, the red bird, and their job is to sneak around and “steal” a child out of the circle and hide them without “Depur” noticing
If “Depur” sees “Ekkreth”, then Depur must chase Ekkreth around the outside of the circle, attempting to tag Ekkreth. If Ekkreth makes it into an empty space from one of the “escaped slaves” then they’re safe, and Depur goes back to walking the circle.
If Depur tags Ekkreth before Ekkreth can make it back into the circle, Ekkreth must go into the middle of the circle where they are now “caged”
Once Ekkreth is caged, Depur goes around and finds as many escaped slaves as they can. Meanwhile, any escaped slaves can sneak up and “free” Ekkreth by tapping them on the head.
If Depur can find all the escaped slaves before Ekkreth can be freed, they win and are now Ekkreth.
If Ekkreth can free all the slaves without being caught, they win.
If Ekkreth is caught, but Depur cannot find the last slave, that slave wins, and they become Ekkreth.

What’s he doing walking around with a waist like that?
Kanan: Ezra! You can’t launch Cal out of a cannon!
Ezra: But he wants to be launched out of a cannon!
Kanan: You’re not supposed to listen to his terrible ideas!
Cal, in the cannon: FIRE!
Kanan: Don’t fire! Ahsoka, back me up here.
Ahsoka, finger hovering over the launch button: What?
Just wondering does anyone know if Hondo Onaka has been the star of a Star Wars time travel fix-it? I just feel he would save things in the most unhinged and flamboyant way possible as a fantastic pirate captain.
