Haven't thought about hanahaki in a hot minute but consider for me if you will. Stobotnik.

Stone is the one who gets it and immediately sets about trying to make contingency plans for the Doctor for when he's gone. Setting up algorithms to take care of his inbox and scheduling appointments. Teaching the Badniks how to perfectly steam goats milk. Even going as far as holding interviews for potential replacements (and wow, does that go badly)

Confessing his love to the doctor doesn't even occur to him as a viable option.

Meanwhile Robotnik is very aware of what his sycophant is doing and he is Not happy about it. What, does he think he can just leave? He was HIS agent! He couldn't just give up on his duties to go and be in love with some mouth breather! When had he even found the time to develop such a disease - he didn't think Stone had a life outside of his work?

Him being the one Stone is in love with doesn't even occur to him as a viable option.

Eventually Robotnik confronts Stone, blowing up at him about abandoning his responsibilities for feeble human emotions and forbidding him from leaving. Stone tries to explain that he wasn't leaving by choice, but that he was dying and Robotnik cuts him off. He knew that! That wasn't an excuse! Whoever this... Person was, they weren't as important as the work they were doing here and he would just have to get the surgery. Honestly, letting this affect his work in this way was unprofessional-

Stone interrupted him with the roughest bout of coughing he'd had yet, causing Robotnik to actually falter and pause in his rant. It went on for an uncomfortable amount of time, Stone had turned to the side, leaning on the wall he'd pinned himself to, before weakly responding

"actually, doctor, the surgery would impact my work quite a bit..."

Mouthwashing core

jk im a liar have another update because I really like this part

Devotion

I wonder if anyone has studied me in the ways I’ve studied you,

Faithfully cataloging every habit and hobby and quirk,

Because to be known is to be loved, and how i love you,

The great loves of my life, my sisters, friends, and not quite lovers,

I wish to cradle you close, in the palm of my hand.

Every act of creation is done with you in mind,

A gift, made with the hope of being treasured by you,

To make you understand the depths of my love,

I try to cry out, “see, see how i know you! See how i love you!”

But speaking the words is a difficult task that leaves me vulnerable,

To a rejection i couldn’t face if you didn’t know or understand,

The depths of my love.

So i’ll choke on the blooms of my love for all of you,

The great loves of my life, become part of me,

In lilies and peonies and lavender, crawling up my lungs,

And i would gladly die, just for the thought of having given you,

The hope, the feeling, or even the faintest notion,

That you were loved.

TW- suicide

(sorta?)

While I was thinking about Stone bein an anomaly to Ivo I was thinking of like... a comic idea where Ivo just wants to fix that. He doesnt want to NOT understand.

A dumb GUN soldier shouldnt be a fuckin MYSTERY...

So Ivo like does a bunch of weird scans and tests on Stone (Stone annoying doesnt complain or question him, the blind trust is a lot for Ivo to process so he puts it in a folder and inserts it into another folder in his mind to try & forgot about the feelings) and then dismisses Stone and starts the REAL tests.

Using Stones tests he creates a simulated version of Stone to see what it will take to push Stone away finally because DAMN hes tried but Stone is ...SOLID. Ivo hates that Stones always there, that Stone knows what he wants and needs, that hes stuck around for YEARS despite Ivo abuses... He 'hates' it. But more importantly he doesnt UNDERSTAND.

He calls his program 'Sycophant Test: ONE' and just starts tormenting simulated Stone but no matter what he does Stone stays until he ends the simulation himself.

Ivo has to contend with the fact that either... A- his program is a complete fucking failure or B- Stone might actually genuinely care for him. Either option sounds IMPOSSIBLE & horrific to him.

So he gives it his all and simulates as much terrible shit that he could conceive himself doing to the bastard just to really finally figure out how to even chip Stones resolve... in the end he tells ST:1 to shoot him.

ST:1 has the free will that Stone does to refuse an order but also Stones personality to NOT want to disobey.

All Ivo learns is that hes more attached to Stone than hes willing to admit to even himself and that is just so cringe and human. He hates it. Hes also gone and done fucked himself up overestimating how much he can tolerate Stones pain... even if it wasnt the REAL Stone.

Im just posting the little doodles I made to remind myself of my idea... but then I realized a comic like this would be a whole lot of work so I dont wanna do it anymore.

So im just posting the idea.

(It wasnt intentional... but this DOES remind me of a BtAS episode now that I typed it all out. LMAO Oh well.)

It’s working again thank the ao3 gods my prayers were answered

pro-tip for commenting on fic: DO NOT tell the author if the fic was posted on the day you were born.

I decided to see what fics were updated on ao3 on my bday just for kicks and giggles and um- i broke it😭 i’ve angered the ao3 gods by trying to scroll through too many tabs of works😭 now it won’t even let me read any of my other ao3 tabs

pro-tip for commenting on fic: DO NOT tell the author if the fic was posted on the day you were born.

Crazy how even 5 years after i initially got into it klance fanart never ceases to make me squeal and kick my feet in delight

he got that sass thrown back in his face in approximately 3 minutes (jayvik and the ugly fuck singed as sonic 3)

If i had a nickel for every doomed yaoi ship i’ve been hyper fixated on this year that ended in a space explosion, features mad scientists, and whose ship name ends in -ik i’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

I know i love you because I see you everywhere, in every piece of media I consume, in the simple placement of two colors next to each other, in the laugh of one character or the stern attitude of another. I see you in every song i hear, from the melody, to the instrumentals, to the lyrics, it all screams of you to me. My friends are annoyed cuz i can’t stop bringing it up, the ways that i see you everywhere, but i don’t think i’ll ever stop. My first love, my first obsession, you have a permanent place in my heart, no matter how the years pass.

mama ive been chasing a ghost!!! fo i look! llike him!!!

A study on Lance's underrated role on the team.

Or, "Yes, there was a Space Mom"

Some time ago, I made a post saying that, the closest thing to a "Space Mom" the paladins ever had was actually Lance and I wanted to make a post elaborating more on why I thought so.

Now this is not me saying that we have to put this Team in neat nuclear family boxes, even Shiro, the one who the fandom collectively agrees to call "Space Dad" doesnt fit perfectly the Team Dad trope, but what I mean is that, this role is one that most of the time it appears naturally in any group of friends/people.

So, lets start with seeing how TVTropes describes what is a Team Mom:

"In an ensemble show, especially of the fighting kind, there needs to be someone to hold this Ragtag Bunch of Misfits together before they kill each other or wander off into the woods like so many Player Characters."

"The Team Mom basically acts as the mother figure for everyone else in the group, regardless of age or family relations."

"Although the role itself is traditionally female, the overprotective dad or older brother can qualify for Team Mom"

"They are by definition never the loner, and will in fact tend to be the one who pulls them into the cast's orbit as a Sixth Ranger. If anyone can break through and bring about a Heel–Face Turn or Cooldown Hug, it's them"

"if any of their surrogate children or siblings are threatened, they can snap into angry Mama Bear mode and kick some ass"

Basically, this role is less about gender and age and more about how the character threats the rest of their peers.

It is hard to imagine resident flirty goofball Lance as fitting in a role like this since, usually, characters that are referred to as the "Team Mom", seem a bit more responsible and mature.

And, admittedly, it is a role that he has to grow into a bit, but even in the first episode he already had some shades of this:

Covering for Pidge and taking the brunt of Iverson's anger, running to aid someone who had fallen from one of the pods (before knowing it was a pretty girl) and protecting Coran from a explosion.

Overall through the show, Lance actually ends up being very caring and protective towards his teammates.

I was unsure on how I wanted to do this analysis since, there is actually quite a lot I want to talk about, so I decided to highlight how Lance acts with every member of the team from this angle.

Keith

The Lion Switch and Keith stepping to pilot Black is what, for a lot of fans, kickstarts Lance's arc of becoming a more mature individual and team player.

But even as early as s1, we do have moments of Lance keeping Keith grounded, like when he stops him from being reckless and hurting the balmera.

In season 3, when Keith is dealing with the loss of Shiro, everyone present decides to turn to Lance to handle it, Lance doesnt even notice what they are doing and instead goes to talk to Keith.

It is interesting that, even Coran and Allura (the adult and the diplomat) also look at him to handle the situation. And it's not a case of just looking at the next person in line, since Pidge is very clearly looking in his direction.

They eventually join to talk to Keith too but not before Lance makes the first approach.

And even when it was clear he really wanted to be chosen, Lance still quickly went to support Black's choice and thus, Keith's new position.

Like Allura tells us later, this is what makes Red, the literal right hand lion to call for Lance.

"You value a strong team"

Because thats what makes Lance really shine. His utter love and care for his team.

Even when he was clearly disappointed about not being chosen he decides to forget his own hurt to instead show to his unsure teammate.

And support he did.

After Keith goes to follow Lotor and makes the team enter a difficult situation while Allura is struggling with Blue, it's Lance the one who manages to make him stop and return.

Keith returns with Lance and shows he is regretful of his actions, one would think that Lance would take this chance to scold his "rival" but instead, he just acknowledges that Keith did mess up but now they are going to fix it. Showing Keith he is not alone in this.

After this incident Lance keeps being very vocally supportive of Keith (when he agrees with his orders).

And will usually follow his orders to a T. For example in "The Journey Within" Keith made a system for the team to sound off every certain period of time, and when Keith stops seeing a point to it, Lance keeps going and the team follows his lead.

It is also interesting to mention, these moments of Lance speaking softly to Keith when he is freaking out.

Another example would be when they get captured and Keith calls the name of his teammates, Lance being the first name he calls and the first to answer.

This ended up being quite long and the 10 pic limit doesnt help either so I will be splitting this in parts.

Keith and Allura's section is, unsurprisingly, quite long but I managed to gather a little evidence to talk about Lance's relationship with all the team.

Hope you guys enjoyed this first part

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3]
