hey AT fandom followers, I'm thinking about getting back into adventure time fan fic by doing a few short stories based on the chat format posts I've done in the past, like this one or that one
so of that specific joke format, which posts would you guys like to see me rework into a full one short story? im fine with multiple suggestions
god of war laufey gameplay aspect summarized
Kratos, marrying Laufey: And Faye. For my marriage gift, among other things... I bequeath unto you the ability to float in mid-air while making rapid-fire combos, as once I did in the days of Greece.
Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
More from the notes:
I love this post
The horse thinks as it scratches an itch
not sure how much eric kripke had involvement in the writing of The Boys tv show but if it turns out he DID that might explain a lot because he was the showrunner for Supernatural, with all that implies
hey friends where is that picture of boromir with the gondor flag except its a pride flag?
Couldn’t find it so I made another because you’re right that it’s a crime and it’s definitely my duty to remedy it
"The Boys tv show had a lackluster ending, maybe the comic wasn't so bad after all-" NO. ITS NOT. "Maybe the comic actually has a strong ending because of the commentary on capitalism-" I think you might be giving it WAY too much credit.
"well the show has some things to say about corporate culture with superheroes as a medium for it" I cannot describe how much that no only does the comic not really have any real plot or theme beyond Garth Ennis really hating superheroes and making a team of edgy heroes who murder extremely obvious parodies of superheroes depicted as unflatteringly, sexually horrific and awful as possible. That's its, that's the plot: 'superheroes are bad actually but this black ops team of sadistic killers who wipes them all out are the real heroes because they're SO COOL'
"doesn't it have interesting things to say about superhero culture or authoritarianism" no. the entire plot is literally just really evil and sexually monstrous superheroes doing horrible bloody things and edgy stuff going on 24/7 as an extremely self-indulgent piece on Ennis' part. The story ends with soldiers in military jets killing all the heroes because the entire premise is literlaly just 'the military is SO MUCH cooler and better and more awesome than superheroes, they're the REAL HEROES and captain america sucks because he took attention away from the REAL WW2 heroes'.
'well is the characterization as least interesting or have things to say' DID YOU NOT READ WHAT BILLY BUTCHER TRIES TO MAKE HIS DOG DO IN HIS VERY FIRST APPEARANCE AS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THIS COMIC. Its Ennis at his worst, BELIEVE ME, no matter how bad or lackluster the show might have become its still a step above one of the most horrifically edgy and gleefully awful works in ANYTHING. This makes the work of Tom Clancy or Pentagon-backed action movies look SUBTLE.
the word “sabotage” is p much short for “fucking shit up with a wooden shoe”
what
fucking shit up with a wooden shoe
oh my god
well wooden shoe look at that
I’M FUCKING CRYING AT THAT PUN BE MY FRIEND PLEASE
you learn something new everyday. unless you're a historian. then you learn something old
If I were an evil emperor in a fantasy world, I would have a an enormous aviary full of exotic birds that are exceptionally well cared for. They would be from a distant enough land that there would be very few people in my kingdom that knew much about them, they would be a friendly but not overly territorial species, and moderately intelligent. Like puffins. They would not, crucially, be able to imitate sounds and 'speak', but they would be very trainable and curious. Occasionally importing new birds for my aviary would be the Big Frivolous Indulgence that my political enemies make fun of.
I will also have a sorceror in my employ. When a hero or a renegade or a political rival is in a situation where I can safely kill them, they will instead be turned into a bird and added to my aviary. I would not brag about this; it would be a complete secret, known only to me and my sorceror. In situations where I capture multiple people working together, only one would go in the aviary;the others can be imprisoned or killed or whatever. If they escape and I reacquire them later, another one can go in the aviary. The point here is that nobody going in the aviary can safely assume that another bird in there is their teammate.
Because I would be trickling real birds in there, too. And I would train some of them to do 'intelligent' things like tap out prime numbers or scratch shapes into the dirt with their beaks. I would train some of them to pick at the locks and bars as if they were trying to escape. I would not train them all the same way, or train many of them at all.
Sometimes, a new bird goes into the aviary -- fellow revolutionary? Or just a bird? Is it trying to communicate to you that it's human, or just being friendly and imitating you because that's what smart friendly birds do? People would develop opinions and theories over time. They'd amass in a group of the smartest ones, pretty sure that they're closest four or five friends are humans, are using their invented little language of wing-flaps and trills with a human mind behind it... but can they ever really be sure?
Most people, when going into the aviary, would assume that all of the birds are captured enemies. So why are some of them hard to have ongoing communication with, to learn about, to plan with? Are these the natural communication barriers of someone in a bird body, or does being a bird make them stupider over time? Will that happen to them also?
Sometimes, if I capture a pair, I'll imprison them separately, then turn one into a bird and put them in the aviary at the same time as a real bird that's trained to have a couple of their partner's mannerisms.
When I interact with the birds, even in private, I won't secretly mock them or make clever veiled references to their past or act at all like I remember that they were once human. They are my birds, that I imported at great expense. And I've brought a treat for them; some fresh fruit, and another friend to share it with! A new bird!
Or is it?
Hey Derin what the fuck
#on tumblr thereso many 'if i were evil' ideas that aren't evil. and then there's this guy. 10/10 villainy. would scar an entire generation.#full villain approval
Look, Evil Emperor is a high bar. Empires are pretty evil by default so if you want to earn the title of Evil Emperor instead of Normal Emperor then you've really gotta put the work in. You can't just do normal greed and oppression and slavery and outright theft and then blame your victims for it, every empire does that, even the ones that pretend they aren't by calling the slavery and theft by some different name. If you wanna be an Evil Emperor then you have to get creative.
If I were an evil empress then I would execute people via an esoteric mind blast power where I'd lead them into a room and burn away their personalities and memories until they were an empty vessel and then send them home to their families, newly innocent and pardoned, where they'd have to be taught who they were and how to live from the ground up like a baby. (Or abandoned, I suppose, depending on the family.) Except I wouldn't actually have any such powers. I'd have a shapeshifting power that I'd use to turn my enemies into a piece of furniture and turn that piece of furniture into them, then send home a polymorphed candlestick or whatever for their family to dote on while my enemy goes on the table to hold candles for the rest of their 'life'.
Derin, respectfully, what the actual fuck.
People are always saying this to me
#that's some good imagination right there
To see more of my good imagination right there, read my stories.
I only just now realized the stealth pun in this scene:
"Quick! Quick, wish for something outrageous! Say, "I want the Nile!" Wish for the Nile! Try that!"
"Uh, I wish for the Nile."
"NO WAY! AH HA HA HA HA!"
He wished for the Nile
Genie gave him denial
why did none of the family suggest negotiating with the werewolves for Markus?
Also, they're werewolves?
Quite possibly the most calm, restrained and patient Garou in the whole country just pasted Fatigue, maimed Git, and demontrated willingness to easily kill them all barely even trying.
That's what you get with an exceptionally reasonable Garou. Negotiation was very unlikely to ever work.
am glad to see that my hunch that she was being abnormally merciful and restrained, to the point of game mechanics making her actions of not murdering everyone on sight EXTREMELY HARD and burning Willpower like crazy, is apparently supported by canon
i'll admit im an old werewolf the apocalypse fan so I am very biased in a 'the garou are automatically right whenever they're arguing with otherwise normal humans' sort of way, and i still feel they are THE closest thing in the setting to genuine heroes you're likely to see, given that Hunters are often part of the problem and any human-centric mentality is questionable at BEST in the context of the setting but also
her actions and werewolves being werewolves making negotiation impossible and tragic misunderstandings and conflict seemingly inevitable and the likelihood of making a devil's bargain with Pentex in some form feels extremely World of Darkness to me, this is the MEAT OF THE SETTING om nom nom
mega crossover setting where the entire joke is that Kain and Raziel of Legacy of Kain, depicted here as the ultimate progenitors of all varieties of vampires (with the GAngrel of Vampire the Masquerade/Requiem specifically being descendants of Raziel and he is a bit perturbed that 'Razielim' is not the main name)
they have both been banned from Legally Distinct AU Twitter, not for any particular violations of terms or doing things or even being particularly annoying:
literally the only way of communication they can BEGIN to tolerate is extremely long and grandiose speeches to the point it takes them over 15 posts and replies just to express a single idea, the site banned them for this
causing them both to dedicate extremely passive-aggressive revenge by attempting to break into the spirit world and locate the spirit of the concepts that relate to the idea of internet forums specifically to intimidate the Spirit of Internet Communications to relax the character limit, unaware that a micro-blogging site is probably better for their desires
(they also kept getting into trouble for including massive videos in ALL their posts, because their communication is very dependent on arm gestures and dramatic poses and if they can't do that they feel silenced)
I just had an argument with someone who was like “why would we settle for food stamps when we could have universal basic income?”
And it’s just like. People need food right now you know.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Hippie church moms donating quinoa chips to my local food bank have done more for me materially than any internet idealist ever has.
People get pissed at me for being a pragmatist in my political ideals but I’ve been in the position where I was out of food right now.
And who helped me with that? Not people calling for some nebulous revolution. Not people telling me that the system was useless. Not people preaching at me to grow my own food. It was a church food bank partially funded by the state of Texas that some southern hippies donated a bunch of Whole Foods nonsense to.
And you know what? I’m sick and tired of defeatism. What can we get done right now, huh? Are you gonna accept something a bit better to help people right now or are you waiting for your perfect utopia to come to you?
Yeah, UBI is better than the quinoa chips. Sure. But right now the quinoa chips are stopping people from going hungry and if all we can do is get the food bank quinoa chips to more people, then I say so be it. That’s something. I’ll almost always take baby steps over nothing.
Here we go!!
goldtitaniumman asked for Jan in #2, hope you like her as much as I enjoyed drawing Wasp! : )
A friend asked what I would choose to be if I had to be "stuck" as a Ben 10 alien and I chose a Galvanic Mechamorph. Her name is Soft Drive
Im surprised how much I like her...
I expected her to be a one off drawing but I spent so much time on and put so much thought into he... I have yet to draw her actually "upgrading" anything though... so I gotta do that.
Shes meant to be just me in real life but im stuck like that for some reason. Everything else is normal though of course. So I imagine there would be issues of course. But I also figure galvanic mechamorphs, as a created and machine based life form of a bazillion nanites acting as a form of slime girl, are functionally immortal? So also if I ever want a more solid form again I could just wait around until we creat some good robots. Or honestly I could just "upgrade" already real "robots".
I also more art of her... my own AND other people's. Draw her. I command it.
