Haha. Yeaaah. I’ve never watched the whole thing. It’s one of those anime I know a lot about but never actually sat down and watched. I’m up to the third opening and damn they all slap. I also have already started sketching an AU for RWBY in this universe. The Rose Sisters and all that.
@disasternoj
Yeah hate to disappoint but I’m watching the dub, which means it’s usually just “Big brother”. I don’t watch subs if I can avoid them.
Hi, I read a fic recently I think on ao3... I believe it was a one-shot and it was pretty much a cute lil story of bby Kaldur coming home to his mother, bruised from protecting his friends from purists. I thought it was a neat lil fic and perfectly captured Kaldur's essence and I'd rlly like to find it again. Thank u in advance :)
First of all, let me just say I’m flattered that I’m the person you came to with this.
Secondly, I *think* the fic you’re looking for is Interlude: Sha’lain’a by Cake And Pi (known as @cakeandpi here on tumblr). His bruises are from protecting animals from other kids, but its the closest one I can find. It’s a great chapter of a series that has punched me in the teeth, hugged me, and torn my heart out (in about that order). Would definitely recommend the rest of the Aftermath series for all Kaldur fans, especially ones who like to explore Atlantean culture and characters.
If this isn’t the one you’re thinking of let me know and I’ll do some more digging!

While a lot of these are great responses (DICE), I would throw a party for family and the few friends I have who are not family. A buffet of food. A few hundred dollars of booze available. Rock Band on tap as well as a gaming table or just a place for people to sit and drink and watch "those fools" at the other happenings.
I admit this kind of surprised me as I figured you’d get a 3D computer thing, but I like this answer a lot better!! I COULD HELP YOU PLAN A FUCKING BALLER PARTY.

I SUPPORT THIS. Suits are so great.

@docholligay I HAVEN'T PRICED A TRIP IN FOREVER SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REASONABLE FOR THE PRICE. Maybe Vegas, fuck it.
Yeah Vegas would be totally doable! We could have a great few days in vegas for 2,000 and live pretty wild! I’d do an out and back trip where we just lose our minds for like, two days.

I forget what it’s called, but Amtrak does a pretty cool scenic trail along the west coast (and into Canada I believe). I’d pick out a few cities along to way to stay in and write that baby off as a “research trip” for writing or art research come tax season. One thing about being a creative working person is that the job can also be 100% fun XD
oooh I love the idea of a train trip! I love Amtrak, I’ve taken the Empire Builder more than once. Which cities would you stay in?

I have to admit, the idea of having two thousand dollars is kind of leaving me with static. Not being able to use it for practical things even more so. It would probably go to having some kind of massive shopping trip when con season rolls around again and/or renewing my dice of the month box. That doesn't even feel like it could account for half of it though.
WELL IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU BUY AT A CON., Or you could travel to a con!

My first instinct is to say I’d buy more tacky impractical clothes (I LOVE suit jackets that shimmer or are velvet or have bold designs, that sort of thing) and then use the rest on some excuse/occasion to wear them, but I can’t think of what that would be
Oh my god please yes buy tacky tacky jackets and then like, tickets to a ball in NYC or something!!

I'd probably build a nice computer. That or use the money to fly out and visit friends I only know via Discord.
UNtil Nikki was building a computer I had no idea how easy it was to blow 2000 on a computer.

I now realize that probably sounds like I’m going to start growing weed, and while that is probably an excellent investment on silly and fun I really meant I could have a space where my cannas and dahlias could start growing properly before the long winters end
ahahahah IT WAS AMAZING THOUGH. I think greenhouses are amazing! I wish we had one, I’ve though about getting old windows and building one

Silly and fun... I'd probably get most things from my games wishlist, then commission a bunch of art for both me and my friends
I love original art!

The idea of having $2000 and not being able to use it for something practical is honestly breaking my brain. Probably a vacation of some sort--a national park or someplace where I could do a history deep dive. And a new cat tree.
Oooh can you think of which park you’d like to see? Jill and I are thinking of doing Denali next.

And probably some more really geeky SM clothes and accessories because some cause of that shit is cute but so fucking expensive.
At that price you could just get shit MADE for you

If you mean only stuff and not trips, then I would buy that Queen Beryl dress because holy fuck that is extra I cannot justify it normally but with 2k it is mine. And then probably a lot of dresses, especially elegant gothic lolita clothing because that shit has the best prints but is expensive as motherfuck.
Have you looked on ebay for gothic lolita stuff? Idk EXACTLY what you’re looking for but I’ve seen a bunch on there at more reasonable prices.

I would go to Orlando, FL and stay in this super cheesy hotel that Mr. Geeky stayed in once, that's done all in over-the-top 50s decor, has a bowling alley, an arcade, and a huge cafeteria instead of a little breakfast bar. Then probably Universal Studios because why the hell not but I have to admit the hotel is big draw. That or to California to see the Winchester mansion because, hell, have you met me? XD
WHAT HOTEL IS THIS I MUST KNOW

OH WAIT NO the money would definitely go to a new Disney Princess costume and wig who am I kidding

thoughtfulfuri replied to your post “BUT A FUN QUESTION FOR TODAY”
Probably commission some art. Maybe some display shelves! Certainly some more figuarts and stuff like that. A cute and ridiculous cat house! Probably just a bunch of fun stuff. I'd say *maybe*. a road trip but I don't know if that would meet the 'silly' criteria. XD
I think road trips can be silly! I fucking love a road trip.
spyderqueen replied to your post “BUT A FUN QUESTION FOR TODAY”
Well the 3' tall Cherno Alpha model I saw in a comic book shop would definitely be among the purchases
AHAHAHAH that’s amazing
themiscyra1983 replied to your post “BUT A FUN QUESTION FOR TODAY”
I mean, probably a trip. I'd pay for a trip somewhere. Maybe to NYC, which I've never seen much of despite it only being a few hours away by bus.
Immortal vampire!Alfred meets the Waynes while a spy and falls in love with them and devotes himself to them. Only they are also related except no one knows until after their tragic deaths. (I was reading this as a platonic kind of love rather than romantic and only realized as I was typing this that it could be read differently.)
Yeah. Both options are good but they’re definitely mutually exclusive. Thus the dilemma.
I don’t watch Voltron, but I got a laugh out of this! I saw the rare was named Sabertron and for some reason was expecting a Transformers reference (Cybertron?), but as soon as I saw the five mechanical cats and the goblin saying “Five mini cats come together to form one super cat!”, it clicked. XD
cakeandpi replied to your post: HE NAMED A BEE AFTER HER.
You’re watching Elementary?!?! :D
I already had! I fell out of watching it somewhere around Season... 3? 4? Because the BLASTED ENGLISH ACCENT makes it hard for me to follow what’s going on without subtitles.
But Netflix Brazil has it now, so I figured a rewatch was in good time!
Some cellphone photos of my art for @yjficexchange (for a fic by the wonderful @cakeandpi!) Here is a link to the story: http://archiveofourown.org/series/749676
[a picture of Kaldur’Ahm facing us, drowning. He does not have gills or webbed fingers, and bright turquoise blue bubbles are coming out of his mouth, floating upwards. A few tears are also floating upwards. The tattoo on his right arm wraps around his hand and becomes an anchor, the same shade of blue as the bubbles with subtle black patterns. He is surrounded by a yellow-peach glow, with a brighter yellow surrounding the anchor. The background is dark blue-purple. There is cursive text written to the side.
The text reads: “duty
what a good
<strike>soldier</strike>
<strike>hero</strike>
sacrifice” ]
