Was told a bit ago by a friend that I didn’t seem like the type to like horror games. And immediately the amount of horror content I’ve consumed flashed before my eyes

I think it’s because I spend so much time rambling about children shows and comedy games

Tbf, growing up, I never had someone I could info dump Outlast trivia or Among the Sleep lore like I could about Digimon or Naruto. Especially at school. You mention The Red Room from Welcome to the Game one time and suddenly you’re sent to the councilor’s office

But I digress…

Maybe this is the sign that I can talk about all my interests now that it’s considered appropriate for my age group

[likeapro42]

I want tomodachi life: living the dream sooo bad

I wanna add all of my favs (plus a few ocs), make them all pan, and watch the chaos unfold. And maybe let some of my favorites have a happy ending for once :/

But that costs money…

“They just can’t get my hair right!”

Redraws of the posters I made for my Tangled AU

[likeapro42]

I never talked about my genderswaped, role reversal, multiversal AU

(Did this awhile ago when I was still a little too reliant on bases. The bases came with ibis paint x)

This is Bradlynn and Lloyana and due to a supervillain with a portal gun, they end up in a universe similar to canon

More details under the cut

Notes about their universe:

- Since Misako knew Lloyana wasn’t the Green Ninja, Lloyana never went to Darkley’s and instead grew up at Misako’s knee

- Misako still searched for the answers about the final battle for Garmadon, but it wasn’t as pressing because there wasn’t a literal baby on the line

- Bradlynn still went to Darkley’s School for Bad Girls on account of her mom still being a crime lord) and got kicked out when she was fourteen

- She was kicked out later because she was better than Lloyd would’ve been, but not bad enough for Darkley’s high school years. Especially since there was no Lloyana to to cushion Bradlynn from being at the bottom

- She was disowned as a disgrace and ended up a street kid and eventually opened up the serpentine tombs to showcase to her family that she can be evil, promise, can they love her now?

- And she almost goes through similar motions that Lloyd did, they’re just more life threatening bc Garmadon doesn’t care about some rando like he does his daughter. So Bradlynn is more bodily scarred. And she is also de-aged like everyone else so she returns to her regular age during Child’s Play

- Lloyana and Bradlynn literally run into each other at the museum during The Stone Warrior and it’s an instant meet-cute but also a kinda slow-burn

- They become best friends and Lloyana ends up joining the group as their researcher (like their generation Misako so she knows all about history and kicks ass using Spinjizu

- Her spinjitzu color matches her clothes bc she doesn’t have an elemental power and she predominantly wears purple, to match her dad

- Misako’s ascot is also purple because of this relation

- They don’t get together until after Possession, after Bradlynn is thought to be gone forever. Lloyana cries and confesses bc she thought she would never be able to and the two kiss

- Bradlynn is both more mentally and emotionally stable because he never had a will-they-won’t-they with her parents like Brad did. She cut them off when she was younger and has fully moved on. And since she was publicly dating Lloyana, Harumi didn’t nearly fuck her up as much as Canon!Harumi did to Canon!Lloyd

- By the time Prime Empire is dealt with, the two get sucked through a portal and ended up in show!verse

Miscellaneous information about this fic:

- Lloyd is a bit bitter that he’s still the shortest out of the four (Brad is 6’3”, Bradlynn is 6’1”, Lloyana is 5’11”, and Lloyd’s 5’10”)

- Lloyd and Brad are still dancing around each other so Bradlynn and Lloyana conspire to get their counterparts to (after going “ugh, men.”)

- Lloyana is confused about Lloyd going to Darkley’s while Lloyd is jealous that Lloyana got to be raised by Misako

A tiny doodle of Lloyd I made to figure out how hair would look from the back

Just came home from watching the Backrooms (2026) Movie

This post is spoiler free. It’s just me vaguely gushing about stuff into the void

If you like amazing cinematography, soundtracks that just fit (I could go on forever about the perfect mixture of bop and eeriness. Like the instinctual uncanny valley of sound) , Chekhov's gun getting fired like a damn metal storm in every fucking shot, and a movie that treats you like your intelligent instead of repeating the message twenty times, god is this movie for you. I think my favorite thing I am now obsessing over is every. Single. Shot has a purpose lore-wise. Even the fucking establishing shots

I had such a good time watching this movie and I will probably go back in theaters to watch it again. I might also just listen to the soundtrack in my off hours. I can’t wait for the fanfiction. Genuinely. I want so bad to read about people’s perspectives on some of the mindfucking stuff. And I really, really, really want people to write the missing moments that are canon compliant. Just so I can read it

This movie was so good, the rowdy teens that were screaming at each other before the film and shoving their bare feet in the way of their phones’s flashlight to have the shadow projected on the screen were dead silent for the film

We clapped as soon as we saw the title card in the credits

Never have I had a movie that made me a little nervous to open a door. Fuckin’ 11/10

Brad probably would’ve been a jock who did drama club in the off season in high school if he had a normal childhood. (He’s an athletic, adrenaline junkie, who is overly dramatic)

And I think if Lloyd went to high school (and wasn’t hated by literally everyone for being a Garmadon), he’d probably be a geek at the bottom of social hierarchy and is also in kendo club

They would’ve become friends bc one semester they both have a lunch period with no friends and end up sitting at the near empty table. Lloyd ends up info dumping about something nerdy, and Brad is smitten

[cuppydogshane]

me and the mutuals are giving some minor characters rich inner worlds later if you wanna pull up. yeah its gonna be all day.

[likeapro42]

I’ve always wanted to write The Final Battle from Brad’s perspective. (Because he was there. He was with Dareth right before Garmatron showed up ran off)

Of feeling so small, so hopeless, in the face of the embodiment of darkness. Of evil. And everything is riding on the shoulders of the kid you were helping out a few years ago. Of seeing the sky go black with only a gold speck in the all encompassing void. And then seeing that speck get swallowed up? Feeling — if only briefly — your mortality, your doom because good — the thing you have newly dedicated yourself to because that golden figure convinced you that you could — had failed. And then the triumph and relief when realizing that everything will be okay. That good won over evil

Fan x Fictional Character GreenFlower AU

Premise

Brad grew up with the series Ninjago. It came out when he was a kid and he instantly fell in love. First with the show and then with the now main character Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon (after a truly embarrassing gay awakening). The long running series kept him going through the ups and downs of his life, where he’d make sure he’d tune in for the next piece of that media dropped (whether it be a season, book, game, podcast, or more).

Outside of his Ninjago obsession, Brad lived a relatively normal life. Balancing college, work, and a social life. But he knew that no matter what, after a long day he could rewatch some of his comfort content.

But this all changed one day when Brad woke up to the actual Lloyd Garmadon in his apartment

Basically, this is pure crack

It’s just Brad panicking and trying to keep Lloyd from being discovered, Lloyd trying to carry on like usual despite the existentialism of learning that his existence in this universe (his life, his pain, his suffering) is to entertain children and teach them morals, and Brad having to keep Lloyd from beating up a random guy and for the love of god, Lloyd you better not use your powers because I swear—!

[likeapro42]

(Brad trying to get his opponents to back off)

Brad: All I’m saying is know your place, behind this line. That’s all I’m saying.

Rando: Is he talking to us?

Brad: Did somebody order a knuckle sandwich? Because I’m about to make a delivery.

Everyone who writes Michael and Gregory as a father-son duo are missing the best nickname

Micheal is British and British people call their kids a “good egg”. So Mike should call Gregory “Geggy” because Gregory is his little good egg. Like, it’s right there!

Made an entire list of weighing the pros and cons of transmigrating to fictional worlds I’m a fan of

It’s a sad day that the consensus is the safest, yet still fun world would be Johnny Test

I think this is my best bet. I know the plot of pretty much every episode. A majority (a slight majority, but 50.0000001% is still a majority) of the Test Family’s antics are contained to their property. If it ever does escape their property, no one ever dies. I don’t have to train and fight to survive. Some of the antics are kinda fun. I wouldn’t have to get involved if I didn’t want to

If anyone’s curious I have an entire note of my reasoning for many stories ranging from Naruto to Kids Next Door to DC Comics to Mario to Ace Attorney

Feral Lloyd Garmadon AU

AU where Lloyd was born around the time as the rest of the ninja and was kicked out of Darkley’s at an even younger age. Around the time he was four or five (only a year or two into his schooling). So he grew up in the forest and had to rely entirely on his instincts to survive

Or the Green Ninja is a feral half-oni, half-dragon teenager

More details under the cut

- Cat, bat, and lizard instincts/traits

- Sleeping upside down, wrapped in wings

- Purring

- Always landing on his feet

- Chasing warm patch of sun

- Naps

- Hunting via sneaking and pouncing

- Territorial

- More in tune with these instincts and the world around them

- Is able to sense all sorts of stuff

- Can talk to dragons

- Already can half-use his powers but hasn’t reached his True Potential

- Him trying to repress his memories of the Before and the suffering he went through is what’s holding him back

- Obsessed with candy the first time he eats it

- Barely remember the Before

- Eats animals like he’s in a Jack London novel

- Very territorial

- The ninja have to teach him a LOT about civilization

- Vaguely remembers how to talk

- Helps kids who gets lost in his woods and has many legends about him because of it

- A golden-green spirit with fangs, horns, and scales. He seems scary and can be very dangerous, but will do anything to defend the innocent

- Someone accidentally opened the first serpentine tomb (Anocondrai) and Pythor finished the job

- The Ninja find Lloyd after hearing reports of a figure with scales, thinking Lloyd is the serpentine. He’s obviously not, but after he saves one of the ninja’s life (you decide), they are chill with Lloyd following them back to the bounty

- Lloyd LOVES sticking his head out of the window as they drive back to the Bounty

- Wu immediately recognizes Lloyd (because who else would have both Oni and Dragon traits?) and is joyful because he was reported dead years ago

- And the de-feral-ization begins!

A few of my GreenFlower Headcanons

Lloyd is shorter than Brad. Brad is 6’3” and Lloyd is 5’10” so there’s almost half a foot between them. Lloyd has to stand on his tip toes while Brad leans down a little for the two to kiss

Lloyd is way more muscular than Brad (obviously) while Brad is a beanpole. So despite being shorter, Lloyd can and will give Brad piggyback rides

Brad is a few months older than Lloyd

Brad has a thing for dorky nerds or people who happen to have blond hair and amber eyes (which oddly enough becomes blond hair and green eyes around the time the Sons of Garmadon start wreaking havoc. Curiouser and curiouser). Lloyd’s type is people who are driven and will not take his shit

When the two go on dates, it’s all dumb, fun, normal teenager stuff they’ve both missed out on. Like sneaking into drive ins and parkour-ing to high places and eating takeout together

Lloyd’s favorite candy are gummy bears (it was gummy worms but then he got traumatized by Finn turning his candy into creepy crawlies soooo) and Brad’s is the type of licorice you can pull apart

Brad has been pining ever since right after Double Trouble. He’s tried moving on multiple times but those relationships never worked out and then somehow he lucked out into dating his first crush and gay awakening. But during that decade apart, Brad coped by being a closeted Green Ninja superfan and has a lot of Green Ninja merch. Lloyd had to have his feelings pointed out to him by the other Ninja after waxing poetic about Brad

Since this is Lloyd’s first relationship, he’s quietly panicking about everything. Brad has quite a bit of experience so he gently guides Lloyd through their relationship

When Lloyd comes into his own of his dragoni heritage, he’s worried how Brad would react to his inhuman traits. - Brad was caught off guard at first, but he genuinely thinks his tiny fangs and wagging tail and little horns are adorable. Lloyd doesn’t believe him at first, but slowly grows to trust Brad’s stance on his inhuman traits. Brad will be jealous of Lloyd growing wings for all of two weeks before Lloyd offers to take him flying. (It takes some maneuvering to find the best position but kissing in the clouds becomes one best moments of Brad’s life. This is the moment where Lloyd realizes, maybe having such a mixed heritage isn’t so bad)

The two steal each other’s clothes. Lloyd has quite a number of Brad’s shirt and hoodies that Lloyd swims in. (Some of Lloyd’s favorites is the bootleg merch Brad has bought. He thinks the broken English and badly printed images are hilarious and will wear them without shame). Brad has a few sleeveless shirts that are more glorified crop tops on him. And he has one or two sweaters that he stretched out and popped a few stitches to be able to wear. Brad also has two old gis of Lloyd’s that he wears like robes when he especially misses Lloyd because the other man is traveling around. (Brad also stole Lloyd’s ridiculous fedora from Skybound and teases Lloyd about it)

When they cuddle, Brad plays with Lloyd hair and (eventually) scratching around his horns. And it’s not uncommon to find Lloyd curled up in Brad’s lap with his nose tucked next to Brad’s neck. Brad is 90% of the time the big spoon; not because Brad is taller, but because Lloyd hates having his back exposed. It makes him anxious. Lloyd will rub noses with Brad when he’s overwhelmed with how cute Brad is and there are the occasional affectionate headbutts shared. (It was absolutely started by Lloyd bc dragoni traits), but Brad picked it up

Lloyd texts like he grew up with a flip phone instead of a smart phone. (The Ninja infected him with their Zillennial-ness, so he’s such an old man despite being a Zoomer). Brad texts with no capitalization or punctuation whatsoever for the ✨aesthetic✨ and types too fast so he has to keep correcting his horrible spelling and grammar

Found the tiny Andy/Sid community and had this little idea that spiraled out of control

That Sid/Andy fic where Sid and the Toys have to co-exist around each other and eventually come to an understanding with one another

Sid was never that bad. He was just a troubled kid who would do anything for attention. When his dad was too deep in his cups to give him any, he turned to playing rougher and rougher with his toys

After getting scared straight by the toys, Sid becomes terrified by the mere presence of any toys. It takes years before he can finally be in the same room as them without freaking out.

Years passed, as time is wont to do, and Sid enters the same high school as Andy (due to zoning areas, Sid and Andy went to different middle schools [much to Andy’s relief, now that his bully isn’t around anymore]).

When the news that Sid is going to the same high school as him, Andy is understandably wary, but to his surprise, Sid doesn’t do anything to him, avoiding him in the halls and refusing to even look at him when in the same space.

A few weeks of this passes until eventually Sid almost demands to meet up behind the bleachers after school. Andy, seeing the burly punk can only agree and hope he doesn’t get beat up too badly

When Andy arrives, he’s preparing himself for the worst only for Sid to nervously apologize for the way he had treated Andy in the past, and that he doesn’t expect forgiveness, nor friendship, just that Andy deserved an apology

Andy doesn’t know what to say, just blue-screens, and Sid takes that as non acceptance and nervously apologizes again and runs the way home

A few more weeks pass where Andy starts observing Sid (almost stalking him) to make sure that this isn’t a trick. All he sees is a freshman willing to fight on the behalf of the bullied and losers

Andy makes a decision, and seels himself, managing to corner Sid and asks if he wants to be friends

Sid is elated and the two start tentatively hanging out. After getting to know each other, they quickly become besties

Unfortunately, being besties means that the two often hung out at each other’s homes to study or play video games. Meaning that Sid is sometimes stuck in Andy’s room. And if that wasn’t already enough to get his heart racing (damn him for being a gay disaster!), the central figure of his nightmares is there with them, always watching

About a year has passed since they both started high school, and Sid had finally worked up the nerve to address the toys, properly, once Andy leaves to take a shower (while track is fun, it makes him really sweaty. Andy’s lucky Sid is head-over-heels enough to stick around to watch his practices)

I dunno where to go from here. Just awkwardness all around, especially when they both realize the other isn’t going anywhere any time soon

Somewhere in here, Sid and Andy start dating

I think it comes to a head where Sid rescues the Toys from the dump and deposits them back to Andy

Maybe Sid worked there part-time, recusing and fixing up toys before donating them to forever homes? Have him taking a gap year to scrounge up enough money to go to a trade school as a mechanic? Or college for engineering? (Because, like it or not, the fact he managed to put those toys together with such different parts, yet they are all working fine? That is some serious skill, problem solving, critical thinking, and just genius! Especially at that age)
