do you ever think about how Michael probably hated being compared to his father, yet in both Watsonian and Doylist terms, that's all he ever was
like in watsonian ways, all the animatronics targeted him and attacked him because he looked so similar to his father that they were the same people to the children.
and in doylist ways, the only thing that defined him was his quest to defeat his father.
like, what in canon has clued us in about Mike's personality? That has nothing to do with his family or animatronics? it's that he likes a show called the immortal and the restless.
that's it.
everything else we have given him in fanon.
he spent his whole life trying to deal with his father to prove he wasn't him, yet he's entirely defined by his father.
and without him, he's barely a character.
it adds a sort of horror to his death in pizza sim. like when he attempted to lay his father to rest permanently, the universe laid him as well, because it had no purpose for him outside of his father.
it also kinda makes glammike a little fucked up if you think about it this way, even if he either moved on or his spirit lingered in the pizzeria. his father rose again and the universe either dragged him out of the afterlife or kept him in the basement because what else is he if not his father's watcher
do you ever think about that despite his best efforts to not be his father, he's entirely defined by the man
do you ever think about that
or are you normal.
Why do I only picture him in bug-goggles?

People saying percy is dumb pisses me off so bad
"But he doesn't do well in school so he's a dumbass" If you had fucking dyslexia and adhd you won't do wonders in school. also calling him a dumbass because his grades are low? That's why he had low self esteem throughout the series and was unable to recognize annabeth's feelings towards him as romantic?
Also rick stated in his blog that percy is doing better than annabeth in the NRU?
"It is catered to him" If you were fuckinh amputated from above knee and got the right mobility aid you can run a marathon and come up first, Susan. Don't "Oh but it's catered to his disabilities he is dumb in normal settings" me. That kid was leading a full on battle at 15 and you can't even win at monopoly without going bankrupt atleast 15 times. Stay in your fucking limits.
So are we just playing “send Shima quick doodle prompts to shake off the rust”?
In that case, you can never go wrong with toothcup
AUGH...AUGUGHHG...
I haven't drawn them in YEARS thank you for this
Also like. I know initially my idea was that human Toothless could talk regularly like everyone else. But mute Toothless who can sign is also......so good......
This is Perry's fault for poisoning my brain /j
It’d been awhile since Adrien Agreste had stepped foot in the Agreste mansion. He made his own ends meet and his father was too busy to see him when he’d lived in the same house, let alone after Adrien had moved out. He’d set up a meeting with his father, (which had been almost depressingly difficult, but that was a story for another time) But the trouble had been worth it. After all today was an important day.
The ring on his finger felt extremely heavy ( No, not his miraculous. He’d put that thing away a long time ago) His engagement ring. An inconspicuous silver band that rested on his pointer finger. No gems. Nothing flashy, just how he wanted it. In Adrien’s opinion it looked better on Nino because of how the band contrasted perfectly with his skin, but that was besides the point. The point was that he was engaged to his best friend and he was going to tell his father about it.

Toxic percabeth stans: your ship isn't canon Me: With how Rick wrote yours, I'm kinda glad he didn't touch mine.
So, let’s talk about Adrino as dads for a minute. We were chatting about Adrien as a dad and @chassecroise who encouraged this whole idea in the first place and @ladriened collaborated with me on these ideas.
Adrien being excited about the idea when Alya and Marinette have a child of their own, spending days researching it and coming up with the best path to parenthood.
Up until the instant he realizes he has to tell his dad and that means, oh right, Adrien’s going to be a dad and he can never be the sort of dad his dad was. Panic starts up because, even though he loves kids, what if he does the same things his dad did?
Nino steps in at this point, being the calm one to assure him he won’t be like his dad and he’ll care for his kid and won’t leave the baby to a sitter while he works.
That being said, you know he would have Nathalie and the Gorilla involved in that kid’s life.
So, imagine Chat Noir reading baby books during lulls in patrols and he and Ladybug talking about preparing for kids, swapping tips about baby proofing.
Nino following baby blogs and already picking out playlists for the baby.
Marinette designing baby clothes and toys for both of their kids.
Alya and Marinette are absolutely the godparents for their kid. Adrien and Nino are the godparents for theirs.
Adrien and Nino have a black cat themed nursery and at least three ladybug toys.
Adrien commissions Marinette to make a black cat toy with plush headphones, and it is absolutely the kid’s favorite toy. It never leaves the baby’s side.
Adrien being just short of a helicopter parent at times. Panicking when the baby wakes up in the middle of the night, and Nino has to calm him down. “It’s okay, it’s probably just a wet diaper. Go back to sleep. You have work tomorrow. I’ll take care of it.”
Buying a nice keyboard to keep in the kid’s room so Adrien can play lullabies and lull the baby to sleep, because bless that boy but he shouldn’t sing the kid to sleep.
Plagg sneaking the baby Camembert because “Come on, it’s the best food around. You’ve gotta teach the kid taste early on.”
Nino learning all his family’s recipes and feeding his kid all the best Moroccan food, trying to get Plagg to try some, too, because honestly only Camembert?
Alya and Marinette’s baby being Adrien and Nino’s baby’s best friend. Play dates while Ladybug and Chat Noir are patrolling or when one of the couples needs a night alone.
Hiring Nathalie as a babysitter, and she goes above and beyond. She’s invited to every birthday party.
The Gorilla is the kid’s favorite, because he is a human jungle gym and infinitely patient and tolerant.
Alya using her connections to rent out the entire zoo for the kids to explore.
Alya also taking out an entire page in the newspaper to announce Adrien and Nino’s kid (barely stopping herself from getting an actual billboard).
Adrien and Nino collaborating to write songs for the baby. The baby gets an annual themed song for every birthday. (They’ll make a playlist for graduation and they’ll cry for days over it.)
If Gabriel is a part of the baby’s life, which I like to imagine he would, he’d send over designer baby clothes and buy outlandishly expensive gifts. Most of them would be to keep the baby safe. You know he’d hire someone to check Adrien and Nino’s home to be sure it’s up to snuff with babyproofing.
Please feel free to add on! I just wanted to post some of this. And if anyone wants to write a fic based on any of this, feel free (just please, please tag me, because I want to read it!!)
Hi can I ask what made you a big fan of Donald Duck?
Hi!! Great question. I think it was the fact that he's the most relatable out of the Sensational Six. That he was the first to be shown as a great adventurer (Scrooge was added later). I love his berserker rages and feats of physical strength.
That he's capable of so many badass feats and has so many just as badass alter-egos (superhero, secret agent, monster-hunter, ninja, mage).
That he's canonically served in both Army (during WWII no less) and Navy (in 1987 Ducktales).
That he's influenced so many things both in fiction (he's the reason for the expanded Duck universe in the comics, Indiana Jones, Inception, Star Wars, anime itself were all inspired by his Carl Barks comics) in addition to real world events too (University of Oregon's Fighting Ducks football team mascot was based off him).
And finally because he took in his three nephews when he didn't have to and tries his best to give them a good life.
The whole Hunters-Of-Artemis thing. Like what do you mean Artemis hates all men. What about Orion and all the rest. What do you mean she hates Apollo. She loves him so much. Stop already. That whole thing was just erroneous interpretation of Greek Mythology and it felt really weird and toxic.
Annabeth and Percy's trauma bond. Annabeth is pretty toxic in a relationship, especially in the HoO books when she and Percy get together. Love their relationship as a concept but the way Rick writes it is just... not it. To show Annabeth as a "strong woman" he continuously makes her put Percy down - and not only in COTG and WOTTG. She literally judo-flips him when they met after that long traumatic period where Percy was suffering from amnesia and being killed so many times. I would love to see more of their dynamic as friends and make it a longer, healthier, equal-footed relationship.
Thalia Grace joining the Hunters and never leaving. What the hell. She only joined to escape the Great Prophecy 1. She can leave right after the Battle of Manhattan and take Percy's place in Great Prophecy 2.
Bianca being alive, only "lost" (never specified dead!). It's a pretty big plot-point for Nico and I think it would probably have a bigger impact on him to lose his only care-giver and watch her come back into his life after he's grieving greatly and he's in the process of learning how to live life without her. It would truly change up their entire systems and I would love to see Nico and Bianca coming to a point where they realize it's time to live their own lives. ALSO STOP TREATING BIANCA LIKE A PLOT-DEVICE FOR NICO. COME ON. DO BETTER.
Make Nico better. In general. The character has so much potential but is just reduced to "sunshine character's grumpy emo goth boyfriend" or "kid whose type is NOT PERCY HAHAHAHA SO FUNNY". Give him some more development.
LUKE WAS A GROOMER AND ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST FORGIVE HIM AND NOT OCTAVIAN, WHO WAS LITERALLY BULLIED AND MANIPULATED INTO DOING THE SHIT HE DID. If you want to hate Luke, hate Octavian too. If you want to forgive him, forgive Octavian too. Stop hating complex characters.
CALEO. OH MY GOD CALEO. LIKE ACTUALLY DIE. THAT IS SO HORRIBLE.
Piper does not need to be gay.
Jason does not need to die.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN GROVER DID NOT USE HIS EMPATHY LINK TO SEARCH FOR PERCY IN TARTARUS. SMH.
Percy should NOT have become Praetor.
Reyna should not be aro/ace or she's just horrible representation of both those things. STOP PUTTING EVERY ARO/ACE CHARACTER IN THE HUNTERS OF ARTEMIS.
Why would Nico search for Bianca and bring Hazel back? That thing makes no sense. His whole arc in TLO was to accept the loss of his sister. Instead, bring out Ethan Nakamura who is still angry and jealous and wants to bring balance to the world. He comes out on his own, BTW.
The whole "Wilderness school" plotline thing. OF COURSE monsters would come for Pipes and Leo. They're really damn powerful and really damn young. What the hell do you mean by they never knew anything till Jason? smh.
SOLANGELO. CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS BUT IT'S OUT THERE. Will is just a blank character to show that Nico's gay and prove he's over Percy (STOP WITH THE "NOT MY TYPE" JOKES OH MY GOD GET OVER IT ALREADY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU). If you're doing this, at least give me a good, long slow-burn. Or don't show it at all. Nico decides to live in normal life after being shunned and confused all his life in the magical world. Now he finds a mortal boyfriend and is actually thriving. His character is so beautiful like stop ruining him and using him as a goddamn plot-device all the time. Ugh.
CHANGE NICO'S COMING OUT SCENE! LITERALLY WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT.
Jason and Piper breaking up was such a good plot point because not everyone falls in love but you need to make it heart-wrenching. Jason doesn't know what's going on. He's just dating Piper because that's what he's being told, that's what he did his whole life. MAKE IT HAPPEN IN HOO.
NO FRAZEL AND LEO LOVE TRIANGLE. ALSO JUST NO FRAZEL IN GENERAL. STOP WITH THE FRAZEL. THAT'S SO UNHEALTHY.
MAKE LEO ARO/ACE GODDAMN. He has so much potential. Like he always feels loveless? Like a failure? Feels a need to have a partner to prove his worth? DIE. MAKE HIM ARO/ACE. MAKE HIM DEAL WITH ALL THAT.
Actually valgrace is a pretty good plot point as well. valdangelo as well.
WHY AREN'T THERE ANY POLY SHIPS IN PJO? SMH. SERIOUSLY. SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
Don't kill me but... perachel is pretty good. I've written a small post about it here.
Welp this is officially too long. Anyway. I wanted to add more but this has been sitting in my drafts and collecting dust a long time so here you go.
Musical prodigy Steve, who is way too casual about this gift. He plays seven instruments and could read sheet music before he could spell his own name, and literally never mentions it.
He has perfect pitch and can perfectly replicate a song he’s heard once on the radio. If you gave him an instrument he’s never played before and an hour, he’d made something beautiful out of it. And no one knows.
Well, some people know.
His mom still signs him up for recitals and performances out of state, but Steve never talks about it. He just says he has something to do with him mom that weekend, and then goes to preform in a concert hall in front of hundreds of people.
Honestly, Steve kinda assumed everybody was like that.
His parents never made it seem like it was a big deal. Hell, he doesn’t even consider that he could go to college for music (not that his dad would ever allow it). It’s basically a hobby.
It’s only after concussion number two when he’s sitting in English class listening to Eddie Munson complaining for a week straight about how he has an ‘epic vision’ for a ‘new song’ but it’ll never come to fruition because he’d need a full string orchestra.
And then another week listening to him hum the melody of the song.
And then a couple more days with the studio equipment that his parents got him for Christmas that Steve starts to think that maybe this ability isn’t all that common.
Eddie - still complaining - just stares at him with shock and confusion when Steve sits a cassette down in front of him and tells him to, “Stop talking.”
Honestly, that should be it, right? Steve has spent more effort making mix tapes than that cassette and those were barely a blip in the week so…
So, why is Eddie Munson confronting him at his locker the next morning? Eddie’s hands are all over the place like, “Did you really find and pay an entire orchestra to play my music just so I’d be quiet?”
“No,” Steve says slowly because that’s insane. “I played your music so you’d be quiet… it clearly didn’t work.”
“You can play…”
“Yeah?”
Eddie just stares at him like he’s something worth staring at and then asks seriously, “Do you want to be in my band?”
