A Place For My OCs

JJK, DCU, LADS and more. Multishipper. Bring back fandom etiquette.

Thinking about how Rafayel is probably her dream come true.

Because sure. He's annoying. And whiny. And overdramatic. Yet, he's also WANTING to be protected. Even if he doesn't nessicarilly need it.

But... just how many times has she wanted to protect Caleb? How many times has she wished to keep Xavier safe on a mission, or take care of Zayne, or help watch Sylus' back?

And it's a fuss. Everytime. Them reassuring her they're fine. That they're more worried about keeping her safe. Even though she's fine and they're the ones scuffed up.

It's an ordeal. A game of back and forth that she can never actually win. And she just... doesn't get it. She's strong. She's trained for this. Why does no one... trust her to watch them?

Then he's there. Voice playful as they walk down the shore. He's going on and on, and her watch beeps, and he's behind her. Watching her back. Yes, but...

"Cutie its there! Get it!!"

And she does. He helps a bit, but its mostly her doing the fighting. Afterwards, he checks if she's okay, and when she asks him the same, he nods. "Yeah. All thanks to you." He smiles.

Thinking about how... giddy, she must be after every encounter with danger with Rafayel. How, finally, finally someone trusts her enough to not completely baby her. And how that alone is probably worth more than anything he's paying her.

i can be bullied into doing anything i guess,

[unluckywisher]

this is not the time to be discussing this but i've had this in my mind for a while now and i'm still wondering about it.

so xavier has a plushie of an alien in a ufo, which makes sense because he came from space and has a spaceship. and has a bunny because he's bunny-coded/themed. okay.

rafayel has a bird who paints because he's an artist, and a fish because he is a fish merman. okay.

sylus has a crow for obvious reasons, and a dino because it's the closest thing to a dragon. okay.

caleb has an apple because of all the apple themes in his story, and an airplane because he's a pilot. okay.

bear with me.

zayne has a snowman because of his ice evol. okay.

why does zayne have an astronaut penguin?

the penguin part i can understand, but wouldn't the second plushie relate to his job somehow if we follow the rest of the LIs'? zayne, who doesn't really have ties to space unlike xavier, caleb or sylus.

what's up with that?

I WONDER THIS ALL THE TIME! And when you get Astropenguin, he has some dialogue about how it's cold in space that kind of initially reads like he's BEEN in space. I need to go back and find it because I can't remember the specifics but do I do remember it feeling WEIRD, like he'd slipped up and said something he wasn't supposed to.

I'm curious about if it ties into his thing with the moon. Like we've all just been taking it as a romantic motif, but wondering if there's a little more to it than that. Also Astra is named ASTRA, like STARS, so ya know....kinda feel like there's some puzzle piece there we're maybe missing

i just love yuri so much!

"mmh did you know that creator you like also posts 🔞 content? did you know that? don't you think that's weird? don't you think we should keep this space-"

no. i don't.

i booked a front row seat to the devil's sacrament and you're blocking the view

just go back to the 1660 new england hole you just crawled out of and eat barley for a week to atone for your sins or whatever

“you cannot ship these two fictional characters because—” actually I can because they are not real people. they are just toys I play with. you cannot apply real-world morality to fiction or how strangers play with their imaginary toys in their imaginary sandboxes.

you can, however, curate your own internet experience by minding your own business, muting/blocking/scrolling past what upsets you but does not hurt anyone in real life in any way, shape or form.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

“ship whatever you want except xyz. there is a limit” so you miss the entire point of what I just said 👌🏻

there is, in fact, no limit. I may be uncomfortable with it, I may even find it unpleasant/disturbing, but my personal feelings are not rules that can be applied to other people, and they absolutely do not justify shaming or harassing other people.

Deciding to post my art again and I’m having jjk brainrot so here’s some Nobara!!! I love her so muchhh bro

[xenosaurus]

I turn 30 next month so here’s what I learned in my 20s:

—don’t work for startups, they’re always one ‘innovative idea’ away adding ‘sell your kidneys on the black market’ to your job description.

—keeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.

—those little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money

—overly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them

—you can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and they’re a godsend for hot cocoa

—people don’t care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them

—try to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in

Also drink water and eat a plant

This is all GREAT. I turned 40 last week, so permit me to add what I learned in my 30s:

keep on not working for startups

sometimes there comes a point where the thing (fandom, hobby, friendship, romantic relationship) you loved no longer brings you joy. And that's okay. Try to mourn the loss, take joy in the memories, and don't burn any bridges in case ten years go by and you find yourself back in that fandom/hobby/relationship again

it turns out that (ugh) moderate regular exercise is (spit) good for you. The sooner you make it part of your life, the easier it'll be

related: if you throw yourself into a new exercise regime too hard and too fast, without stopping to rest or consider whether a particular move is good for you ... well, shoulder injuries are painful and consults with orthopedic surgeons are expensive

knees are bastards too

don't even get me started on ankles

there may come a time when your digestive system is too fragile for ibuprofin. I'm sorry

one day you're gonna wake up and realise you no longer give any fucks about some things that used to bother you

on the other hand, you might be alarmed to realise what you still give a fuck about

never get down on the floor without an exit strategy for getting back up

[covington-shenanigans]

I turn 50 this year. what I have learned in my 40s:

"loving yourself" is less of a feeling and more of an action. you can start doing it any time and it will make your life better and better as you go on

this will happen incrementally - be patient

along those lines, if you haven't started making an active effort to quit shit-talking yourself, suck it up and do it

no, shut up. do it. "but it's haaaaard!" don't care. do it.

whether you like it or not, you are mortal and you need to go to the doctor for an annual checkup

stretch regularly - your future self will thank you

at some point you will encounter people much younger than you arguing passionately and incorrectly about history you personally remember and experienced

this will be infuriating and annoying

otoh, most other things just... will not matter to you as much

at some point you will shift from wanting to go out to being like "eh" and deciding to stay in. this is okay.

you will have absolutely no idea what The Youth are talking about and you will not care

but if you keep your mind open to new ideas you'll never be irrelevant

your company still doesn't love you - don't give them more than they pay you for

get a fucking hobby, especially a hobby that involves physically creating/handling something and/or moving your body in physical space. it will do you more good than you can imagine

[atlinmerrick]

Just turned 60 and let me say:

Find joy, every kind, it's always worth it

I'm talking that massive, never-ending Discord chat with your bestie? The one that makes you giggle through the day? It's not a "waste of time," it's what time was made for

If that's fanfic for your favorite characters who never even met on screen celebrate that!

If that's building a tiny fleet of snake villagers for your snake town and they just cover your mantel hell yes!

If that's collecting pillows and making a fort of them every weekend I'll be right over

Feeling and sharing joy is the whole point

[cricketcat9]

This is too tempting…, so, I’m 74, and: don’t fund startups

Please keep stretching and exercise enough NOT to need an elaborate strategy to get up from the floor. IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE

Say bye to your employer as early as you possibly can, unless you really love your job. You won’t be sorry.

Keep doing the annual checkups 🙏🏼

Enjoy that fucking hobby you’ve acquired in your 50, or find something new. Do try new things & adventures.
