Got posessed by Domino Squad Lives AU emotions for the first time in a little while.
Idk where they are, but it sure is nice to vibe under the sun in some field with your bros, not having to worry about a war for once. Even just for a little while.
Star Wars Fix-it: The Holonet Edition
The well-bribed algorithms of the Holonet should have relegated Tookruta1387’s clip to the tender hearts of a few friends. The days of spontaneous viral posts – without credits to grease the wheels – died not long after the rise of megacorps in the Republic. But the poster was either lucky or savvy enough to play the algorithms because “Jedi Being Cold” exploded. Screens, conversation, even news. And their post was just the start of a trend…
“Jedi Being Cold”: An old transport ship, frost coating the inside of its windows. A corner swathed in a nest of robes. Within three padawans snuggle together, fast asleep. If they were cats they’d be purring. One is purring despite a lack of feline attributes. A hand nudges them with a datastick, only for it to float away to a cloud of similar items.
“Jedi Being Cold” part 2: A snow-covered lake. One knight finishes sculpting a realistic snow tiger. Two others Force push each other like hocky pucks across the ice. One goes flying towards the statue. An expression of ‘oh crap’. Incredible, Force- assisted acrobatics deftly avoids the sculpture but crashes right into the sculptor in a tangle of limbs, sending them skidding into a snow-bank. The third Jedi pokes their head into the many-limbed hole and gets snowballed for the trouble.
“Jedi Stealing Children”: A child at a slave auction. A robed figure swoops in like a hawk, slicing through chains with their lightsaber and ripping apart cages with the Force. The camera pans to one slaver Force shoved into a cage, clearly furious as the Jedi escapes with a whole crowd of people, many children.
“Jedi Stealing Children” becomes the title for 1287 pictures, clips and gifs before someone adjusts the algorithm. This makes them surprisingly hot commodities on the Dark Holo, especially the one with a Nautolan Master dramatically fleeing the capture attempts of a horde of children – ending in one dramatic arm reaching out as kids bury him
“Jedi As Warmongers”: A young Padawan, blood splattered, has a ‘does it get better’ look on their trembling face as they stare up at their Master. The Master is even grimier and gorier as they gather their Padawan up with an ‘I’m sorry but no’. The Padawan weeps and shakes, burying their face in their Master’s robes, who has silent tears down their face. In the background is a war zone.
“Jedi as Warmongers: part 2” Has war holomovie music playing in the background as the snap-thumm of a lightsaber echoes, vivid blue piercing the dark. The blade raises over something, is brought down…over a block of cheese and loaf of bread. The Jedi padawan gleefully declares: “Grilled Cheese for all!” The sound of sprinting footsteps is heard and a dramatic “Noooo,” from a Jedi Knight.
“Jedi as Warmongers: part 3”: The music has switched to aftermath of war horror, the kitchen looks like a cheese atomic bomb hit. The children are cleaning up and one wipes cheese with bread and pops it in their mouth: “grilled cheese for all!” An adult admonishes “You spit that out right now that’s not sanitary.” In the background the Jedi Knight is doing the same thing.
“Jedi Showing Off” Is Yoda’s contribution to this mess – which is just him going through an entire stack of photo-albums on his previous padawans. He opens the last book to Dooku the Padawan when Dooku the Master barges in: “Stop this indignity immediately!” The camera shows an intense close-up of someone’s palm. “Who even taught you how to operate holo-video? –” feed cuts off.
“Jedi Dignity”: Feed resumes from a different perspective as Master Dooku – previous camera still in hand – gives Yoda and several other watching Jedi a lecture on appropriate Holonet-posting behavior. “Not appropriate baby photos are?” Yoda asks, a card-shark’s spread of pictures with Dooku’s baby face. Dooku yanks them out of Yoda’s hands. “Not without m-the person’s permission!” Does a double-take. “Are you filming –?” Horrified glower. “Mace you traitor!” Video abruptly cuts off. Permanently this time.
Not even algorithm adjustments – and there are clearly several – can stop that from becoming viral. “Mace you traitor!” becomes slang for the latest generation. Mace himself rolls with it. Dooku attempts to entomb himself in the archives until this all blows over.
Actions may speak louder than words but memes speak loudest of all.

Prologue: The reality we live in
Available for reading at Ao3!
Summary:
“There are no good or bad Paladins. There are only good or bad decisions, and the moment you make one, all that's left is to live with the consequences.” Allura doesn't remember who told her that, or when, but she lived by those words for a very long time. From the days before she ever donned her Paladin armor, to the moment it was time to take it off. Until one day, she decided that no, she wasn't going to just accept it. She was going to fix it, even if it was the last thing she did. Now, stripped of her memories as the price, she, Coran and the Paladins must witness their own future victories and tragedies. Knowing all their mistakes, can the team find the strength to change fate and save those they were destined to lose? // First season reaction
so apparently I ship WinterIron now (Tony x Bucky) oops…aka the MCU keeps fucking over my favorite characters
if Marvel’s gonna make MCU!Steve fucking abandon Bucky, I demand that they do slow burn Bucky x Tony. I think Steve leaving Bucky not very long after reuniting w/him is just as insane (if not more) as Bucky & Tony getting past the whole “I killed your parents while brainwashed & then you & I tried to kill each other” thing. I think they’d love each other’s sense of humor, & they’d be an interesting dynamic in general when it comes to remembering Steve/Peggy/Howard, working through their C-PTSD, & managing what’s left of the Avengers. Also I want Bucky to be Tony’s grumpy responsibility -> reluctant coworker -> secret FWB -> “oh shit, we’re married” -> househusband who plays w/Alpine* & only leaves home when he fucking wants to (cue a lot of them missing events bc they chose to “sleep in”). & tbh yeah, I get that sometimes you need a break after a lot of stress, but I hate what Steve did so much that I want Bucky & Tony to (initially) fuck while crying about Steve leaving them.
*Alpine is the cute white cat that comics!Bucky has 🥰
Another MLP AU like Im not totally behind on posting for my other one lol
Woke up one morning thinking about how stupid it is that Luna retires with Celestia (nevermind that suddenly retiring like that is totally out of character for both of them imo), and couldn't stop thinking about a mini au where Luna steps into the main ruling role when her sister retires. This drawing is supposed to be a framed photo you might find on their desks, a commemorative picture taken after their honeymoon before they have to return to their duties.
Details under the cut!
