No, you misunderstood. When I said I can’t feel romantic or sexual attraction I wasn’t complaining, I was bragging.
Conversation that Tumblr is not ready for:
A Vampire's fangs are also it's reproductive organs
i gotta be honest boobs are so cool
yaehh
YES i want to look hot. NO i don’t want anyone to be attracted to me ever. shocked and appalled that these two things cannot coexist
imagine s3 geralt getting his ass kicked then he gets knocked out and he wakes up to the people who just kicked his ass fighting someone else (there are at least six of them)
and theyre at a distance and his vision is still blurred so he cant see much, he just sees blood flying and hears grunts and cries of pain and cant exactly tell whos winning
then he sits up right when its down to two people and he can finally see when one of those people stabs the other in the neck with a dagger and
its jaskier.
jaskier.
and jaskier rushes over to him and the man barely has blood on him, as if he'd ever let his expensive clothes get permanently stained, and starts untying geralt and asking if hes okay and geralts looking all bewildered and jaskier notices and hes like
"what? did you think i wouldn't benefit from all those training sessions you forced me through?" jaskier asks, completely nonchalant, barely out of breath like he didn't just take down half a dozen men. "thank you for that by the way, really came in handy"
and geralt realizes in that moment
his best friend is insane
I FUCKING LOVE NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE
I’mma sing you a sacred psalm
On your knees, pray along…

We did a Hatchetfield marathon recently and my decade-long on-again off-again Starkid obsession came ROARING back!! Grace Chasity was designed to appeal to everything I love to paint, so naturally here I am ✨
I like to think Bella has so many vampire questions that she just randomly thinks of that she has a note in her phone that she just adds each thought to, and each time she goes over to the Cullen house they play a quiz show type game with buzzers where Bella asks her questions and they buzz in to answer. The points aren’t reset at the end of each game so the numbers just keep getting higher and higher
• Edward keeps saying “you can just ask me questions instead of all this stuff” referring to the buzzers, after this he was permanently disqualified for ‘being a bit of a dick’
• Emmett and Jasper are usually either tied or first or are very narrowly in first or second
• Emmett lost 25 points once for trying to buy points by dropping a grizzly bear at a human Bella’s feet ‘just in case she wanted to try’ much to Edwards dismay she found it hilarious and just patted the bear on the head before telling Emmett he should finish it on her behalf
• Jasper also lost 25 points for trying to find out questions beforehand. He kept subtly asking Bella her thoughts on ‘vampire stuff’ and made her feel all warm and fuzzy, she wasn’t happy about this one
• Although the entire family is involved, Esme usually just comes up to Bella later to elaborate on people’s answers. Rosalie is only sometimes interested but gets a kick out of Emmetts entertainment. Carlisle usually sits back with Esme but you’ll occasionally hear a very distinct buzzer away from where Emmett and Jasper stand, Carlisle is sitting in an armchair like some sort of benevolent king with an answer ready and surprisingly humorous
• Alice is very eager, but gets most of her joy from seeing Jasper get points rather than answering things herself. Though if anything even similar to fashion comes up she sees it and buzzes in so fast Bella has barely finished her question
Adult Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are the most surreal power couple in the mortal world.
Annabeth Chase, world renowned architect who was entrusted with repairs and renovation on the Empire State Building…
…and her husband, this guy who was wanted by the FBI for blowing up the St Louis Arch seventeen years ago
Okay, so I feel like there could be a situation where Percy’s mortal friends (come on, he has at least one or two) end up getting dragged into godly matters by mistake and so they learn Percy is a demigod. Naturally, this is very shocking for them. Well. One of them. The other is pretty chill about it.
At any rate, I'm just picturing them somehow on Olympus and then you get an interaction like:
Friend 1: wait so you're part GOD?!
Percy: uhhh, well-
Friend 2: that explains the weird cursing. Who says ‘Holy Hera’?
Friend 1: Like a GOD?
Percy: *awkward smile*
Friend 2: which god?
Friend 1: A GOD?! Is it a super powerful god?
Percy: oh. uh-
Friend 1: Well?!?!
Percy, looking at Poseidon but also trying to be humble af: um. He’s alright...
Poseidon:
Percy: I mean, he is- like, powerful. Obviously. Being a god and all.
Friend 2: is he more powerful than the average god?
Percy: ummmmm what even is the average god?
Friend 1: omg that makes him sound powerful. Are you a powerful god’s kid?
Percy: no! I mean- sorry! Sorry, I didn't mean that! I meant- he’s, like, uh- well. Okay. Look. He...he is a sea god. So. There's that.
Friend 1: HE IS THE SEA GOD?!?!
Percy: there are actually lots of sea gods!
Friend 2: but is he the one everyone talks about?
Percy: Triton from the little mermaid?
Friend 2: dude
Percy: I'm really trying here. Uh, a little help?
Poseidon: no
Percy:.....that’s fair.
Friend 2: just tell us if your dad is mega powerful
Percy: Fine. Yes. He is. Happy?
Friend 1: AH! Amazing! Are you powerful then?! Have you ever fought a god?
Percy: look, technically-
Friend 2: did you win?
Percy, looking at Ares: Stop. Asking. Questions.
Friend 1: omfg you kicked a god’s ass didn't you?? Who was it?
Percy: …..pls.
Annabeth: it was Ares
Friend 1:
Friend 2:
Friend 1: THE GOD OF WAR?!
No I don’t care about the new Velma series, but all these Scooby Doo posts have highlighted a deficiency in every Scooby Doo prequel idea. Yes, I’ve seen some amazing ideas for BFF Daphne and Shaggy content… … but none for the untapped character goldmine of Freddie and Velma.
Like just picture it. The series is set in a American private school, where Velma is a POC scholarship kid, always looking to prove herself. She’s bullied relentlessly, but keeps her head down, because she’s getting into the Ivy League, damn it, and there’s no way these assholes are stopping her. She’s a whizz at anything to do with science and math and history and geography, but arts are a bit of a weakness, and she needs one more English credit to max out her resume. Her teacher offers her the opportunity to tutor another student to get the credit. The catch is it’s Fred Jones, the Dean’s son, and no-one can possibly find out. Velma’s initially pissed at having to spend so much time with this entitled brat. On the surface Fred Jones is everything you’d imagine him to be - a jock, a bro, loved by the ladies and part of the group that have always made Velma’s life hell. She dreads having to tutor him, until he turns up, and he’s genuinely appreciative and sweet. She doesn’t trust him; she’s been burned too many times before. But through the sessions they get to know each other better. They bond over their mutual love of engineering - Fred doesn’t have the technological vocabulary that Velma does, but he’s got an instinctive eye for when a mechanism would fail - and they both realise the other had more depths than they expected. Velma notices the bullies leave her alone now, and though she can’t thank Fred publicly, they share a few subtle smiles in the hallway. And then the plot of the series happens - a girl gets kidnapped from their school, and Velma’s on the case. She cancels her tutoring with Fred to sneak into the school to investigate. They run into hypercapable badass Daphne Blake and her emotional support Shaggy. Velma’s had a crush on Daphne for as long as she can remember, but her nerves make her even more snarky than usual, and the two spend most of their time bickering. Velma, Daphne and Shaggy also run into Fred in the school while they’re investigating; he left some sports stuff behind and came to retrieve it. Plot plot plot, meddling kids, mystery solved. Velma thinks everything’s going back to normal, but it doesn’t. Shaggy saved her a seat at lunch, and fills her tray with stuff he thinks she’ll enjoy (”And hey, you can sneak some of this in your pockets for when you’re at the library later!”) Daphne picks her first for her team in gym class. Fred tells his shitty mates to get fucked, and sits next to Velma in every class. And best of all, they start solving local mysteries together. As they become better friends, they learn more and more about each other. Fred tells Velma if she struggles with making eye contact with people to look at the bridge of their nose or over their shoulder, because that looks like you’re looking them in the eye without actually doing it. Velma tells Fred that “the writing swimming when you read” is called dyslexia, and types up their study notes in a easy to read font. Fred is the first friend Velma ever brings back to her tiny apartment than she shares with her parents, and he’s very appreciative of their home despite living in a straight up mansion himself. Velma learns that that mansion life isn’t all its cracked up to be. His parents work away a lot, and when they’re around, they’re shitty and waspy and make Fred feel small. Fred always texts Velma late at night telling her to stop studying and get some sleep, Velma always texts Fred to tell him to stop working out and get a snack. They’re fucking good for each other. It’s never romantic between them - never even close. Fred takes Velma’s coming out better than her parents did (”Why would I be upset that you like girls? Liking girls is great! I do it all the time!”) Velma tries her hardest not to be jealous when Fred and Daphne start dating - she never told him about her crush, and he’s not a mind reader. Who cares if she notices there’s chemistry between her and Daphne? She’s probably misreading the social cues, like usual. Besides, school’s nearly over now, and she’ll be off to college in a matter of weeks. Leaving it all behind her, just as she planned. Their final mystery is the biggest yet, and the only time the gang actually fear for their lives. The stress of the mystery, and the building resentment of Velma’s “I’m out of here” energy leads to a huge argument between Fred and Velma, and the gang splits four ways to try and solve this thing. Each of them face their own trial. Shaggy has to face his fear instead of running away. Daphne has to be herself without overcompensation with gadgets or gimmicks. She realises in this process that Velma is the one she’s always loved, and the two share a sincere kiss. Fred has to trust himself, and succeed by himself without the safety net of his family, his wealth or Velma. And Velma has to admit she needs her friends, and that she loves them deeply. The mystery is solved, and just like that, they’re all set to go their separate ways, this time for real. It’s the last day of finals. Velma hasn’t heard from Fred for almost a week now; her texts go unanswered. She knows he’s taking breaking up with Daphne harder than he’s letting on, though he’s happy Velma and Daphne are happy. She finishes her final paper and hands it in, thoughts of college in her mind as she stands on the school steps where it all began. A horn honks behind her. She turns. There’s a massive eyesore of a van parked outside. Velma didn’t even know you could get that many shades of neon green and blue, and the little orange flowers are wonky and she knows they’ve been painted by hand and with love. Daphne waves at her from the passenger’s seat, and Shaggy from the back. Fred is leaning against the Mystery Machine, twirling his keys in his hand. He’d traded the sleek, smart car his dad bought him and that he’s been driving all show for this new ride, and he asks if Velma feels like solving a mystery or two before heading off to college. Thus begins the adventures of Mystery Incorporated. (End credits song is “Life is a Highway” by Rascall Flatts because you know that’s white boy Freddie Jones’ favourite driving song)
