Oh, fuck this. If you're a new user, don't forget to set your dashboard to Following and turn "Based on your likes" and "Best stuff first" off
The unfortunate thing about that:
"For you" is literally locked as the first option on new accounts.
I would not be surprised if at least SOME of the reason for this (aside from trying to copy other sites) is because of the "Likes do NOTHING because tumblr doesn't have an algorithm, reblog ONLY!!!!!" people because yeah if I kept seeing that comment over and over again I would want to stick an algorithm in here too just because people were being assholes to others about it.
If I do break down and write a Bionicle-Star wars crossover, it'll be either
A) Takanuva with an olmak unintentionally dropping the force equivalent of a flashbang in Palpatine's face just by showing up.
B) The Clone Wars crew getting stuck on Mata Nui for a week. Anakin gets a lesson from Vakama, and doesn't know if he's better or worse than dealing with yoda. Ahsoka's having a blast. Rex & Cody are Uncomfy™ Obi Wan finds Nokama and Whenua excellent company to have over tea (He chokes when he learns that all the matoran are older than Yoda). R2 manages to be a menace as usual.
Plz?

as much as i love vader getting to fuck palpatine over, as much as i think it's the best thing, and as much as i love AUs where everyone gets together to curbstomp the emperor, i always wanted to see an AU where palpatine dies unexpectedly from the complications of being a bitch just because:
- palpatine never intended to die, in my mind, he just aimed to prolong his life through sith bullshit ad infinitum, so i don't think he ever officially established a successor or even a method of transitioning power. i think everyone collectively assumes vader is his heir, on account of vader being the only person with the horrendous job of actually having to talk to the emperor directly all the time. but there's not anything binding except for the fact that if darth vader wants the imperial throne, he can crush the litany of people who would like to stop him like bugs, and i think everyone would assume in turn that vader - a guy who is famous for his frothing at the mouth about the empire's Divine Vision For The Galaxy - would want the throne.
- this is, categorically, false, because every single time he's thought about killing palpatine, he had someone else he wanted to hand the throne. this is an awkward situation in which everyone is waiting for vader to stake his claim on the throne in the immediate aftermath of palpatine's death, and vader's like [automated breath] i..... have...... rebels.... to kill......... but i think, as horrific at diplomacy as vader is, he's at least savvy enough to know that the second he corrects everyone and tries to cede the throne, the infighting as everyone makes a play for the throne would cause a ridiculous amount of unrest. so he can't just cede the throne, but he's next to incapable of being functional without serving His Imperial Majesty's Divine Vision, and he needs to choose a successor as fast as possible and then he can possibly consider finding a ditch to lay down in because his one last attachment to the mortal plane died.
- i know it'd be more reasonable for vader to kick punt someone like tarkin at the throne, but consider that vader is, fundamentally, unreasonable. and at this point in time, he's also famous for being kind of a religious zealot, and he would absolutely choose this particular time of all the times to trust in the force. so he meditates, considers the sane options, but the force keeps lingering on senator leia organa from alderaan - and it's doing that because she's secretly his daughter, but he doesn't know that, and theoretically this is enough ahead of ANH that he doesn't even have an inclination that she's a rebel spy. but if the force wills it.
- so leia, all of eighteen years old, is named empress by darth vader and he doesn't have the grace to tell her he's going to name her empress first, he just kind of goes in front of the imperial senate and does it. i think it would be utterly hilarious if vader handed the empire over to the rebels without knowing it, handed the empire over to his daughter without knowing it, and now leia has to figure out how to safely un-empire an empire while being empress without causing too much chaos.
- which is not a job made easier by the wheezing war criminal who keeps kneeling in front of her and asking, "what is thy bidding, my master," because leia has unknowingly inherited the weirdest position in relation to vader anyone could have, and he's kind of relying on tradition to cope. i really just want you to imagine an ongoing bit where one of vader's cybernetic arms gets wrecked while he's suppressing a coup organized against the new empress, and he leaves it like that for weeks because palpatine always had to clear off significant changes like replacement prosthetics, and he keeps waiting for leia to do it. she finally snaps at him to just go and get it fixed, and vader's thrown into an array of distress because that is NOT how this works!!! his MASTER clears off his medical procedures, it ALWAYS works like that, and leia's confusion is bone-deep, because obviously that only makes sense to vader.
- wouldn't vader notice the empire getting un-empired by the new secretly-a-rebel empress, you wonder. i would say that he probably wouldn't, because as horrific as palpatine was, he was also all of vader's will to live, up until the moment leia shows him a singular basic courtesy - like not being weirdly involved in the process of vader getting a new arm - and vader decides that he is going to froth at the mouth about Her Imperial Majesty's Divine Vision, instead, until she sees fit to grant him death.
- i just think it would be really funny if leia had to deal with learning that vader, on top of being omnicidal and a war criminal, is also just really ridiculous as a person, and very annoying but in a sad way.
This is awesome and hilarious and all I can think about is Leia’s reaction being, “Um . . . just to be clear, this isn’t a marriage proposal is it?" and Vader’s momentary bluescreen before he hurries to reassure her that, no, it’s not.
Vader: *remembers how his marriage went* You are too young to marry anyone.
Bail Organa: Well fuck, now I have to agree with Darth Vader about something!
My favorite mundane palpatine deaths:
- choked on a peach pit
- heavy metal poisoning
- tripped on his sith robe and fell down the stairs
- sudden infection from poor dental hygene
- bird flew into the engine of his imperial shuttle and made it explode
- ate some bad sushi
I know it's only tangentially related to the original post, but nothing, nothing can top a succession crisis because the emperor choked on a fish bone.
I love all of those and add
- Choked while evilly laughing
- Stubbed his toe and it got infected
- Drank some bad wine and hallucinated Yoda and died.

the fact that “the vibes here are rancid” is a power that the jedi actually have is insane to me
misskirby
can you imagine being a normal dude and you’re getting help from this jedi, and this jedi dude’s like “head’s up, the next five minutes have the worst vibes imaginable” and you’re like “why?” and the jedi dude’s like “inscrutable cosmic power told me so, doesn’t get more specific than that”

like all these weird little men in weird little robes with glowy swords do is meditate because they have sorcerer-induced anxiety. yoda’s always fucking meditating on his little pillow because he has to figure out if he’s nauseous because the arcane will of all life itself is speaking through his midichlorians to warn him or if he just ate a bad burrito for lunch. the force is constantly dunking on these weird little men and telling them “something bad’s going to happen” and never explaining what’s going to happen. do you sense bad vibes because your washing machine is about to break and flood your apartment, or because the government you serve is about to turn into a dictatorship and mow your ass like grass? that’s for you to figure out

Mystery Fantasy Book Tournament
Round 1: Poll 1
The One with The Obnoxious Legal System
The world's most obnoxious old man has been arrested for charges of witchcraft by the world's most obnoxious legal system. The story follows him utilizing every tool at his disposal to escape death including his fruity apprentice, his ever-tired lawyer, and most of all stories. Half of this book is the old man telling a story to someone he is either trying to sway, trick, or simply entertain.
The One with Friendly Pigeons
A sorcerer wakes up in his apartment one day...two years after his murder. Now he's back with unfathomable powers and has to try and solve his own murder, navigate complicated alliances in the city's magical landscape, and figure out if he's still human and if it matters to him anymore. Along the way he gets beat up so incredibly often, bullies a number of magical creatures, befriends pigeons and a woman who really wants to kill him personally.
Revelation that the key to understanding Godzilla is that you must understand it is wrestling. It is wrestling. The good guy monsters like Godzilla, Anguirus, and Rodan are the Faces who you always root for because they’re YOUR GUYS. The bad guy monsters like Ghidorah and Gigan are the Heels who act like assholes and yell things like “it doesn’t matter what you think!”. The good humans like Miki and Serizawa and the Shobijin are the Jim Ross-style announcers and interviewers who comment on the match or chat with the wrestlers between fights. The bad humans and evil aliens are the corporate guys like Vince McMahon, and the giant robots like MechaGodzilla are what happens when they decide to get in the ring themselves. Rival kaiju/toku series like Gamera or Ultraman are rival wrestling companies and underground circuits. Baby Godzilla is Hornswoggle.
In this essay I will

i am soooooo sick of fandoms being about nothing but shipping characters. and i dont mean in romance shows i mean in like fucking anything the main priority for fans is finding faces to smooch. it’s fucking stupid im gonna make a show starring nothing but sex-repulsed romance-repulsed aroace people see how you fucking bitches can deal with that. it will not be called all or nothing it will be called NOTHING and my kickstarter link is
Like don’t get me wrong I love a good romance but like I also love
- silly guys
- theories
- speculation on lore and world building
- family dynamics, friendships, enemy dynamics that aren’t enemies to lovers
- dumb hc about mundane things like sleep etc
I can’t think of anything else rn but there’s more.
It just feels like sometimes fandom can only think of two things and it’s shipping and daddy issues
Like don’t get me wrong
I love a good romance but
like I also love
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Fandom ask
Monsterverse
The OTP: Mothzilla more or less lol
M/F OTP: See Above
M/M OTP: N/A
F/F OTP: N/A
Fav Female: Mothra
Fave Male: Godzilla himself though Kong and Rodan are close seconds
Least Fav Female: Femuto. I don’t hate her but she’s the least favorite of mine regarding the female monsters
Least Fav Male: Ghidorah, mainly Ni, The Right Head. Not as diabolical as Ichi nor as amazingly dim witted yet charming as San/Kevin. Again dont hate him but he’s the least impressive
Why I joined: I’ve been basically a Godzilla fan as far back as I was six, so upon me being blown away by Godzilla 2014 and years later Skull Island, I have come to take this entire cinematic universe of giant sized monsters as my premier go to cinematic universe, even more so than Marvel but especially more than the DCEU plain and simple
Sorry it took a while to answer but I think this should suffice @camo-wolf ;-)

I woke up at 1, grabbed my phone, and this was the top post on my dash lol. Put my phone down right away
The water reflects beautifully off the lake when dusk hits.
Techno knows why they forbid him from coming here. Deceiving as it can be, the darkness of the water hides its true intentions. And the pale yellow eyes that peer back from its depths too.
“Are you willing to take my deal now?”
“Nope.” Techno laughs at Quackity’s annoyed scowl. Pupils narrowed, he would be intimidating to most humans. Techno should know better than to play with fire. The tree hollow he returns to each night proves he’s too stubborn when it comes to ignoring the warnings of magic.
But also, Quackity looks like Techno could break him in half like a twig if need be. So sue him for not being very afraid.
“You’re such a dick,” Quackity hisses. His body is pulled up from the water to settle on a rock, legs dangling off idly. He pushes the hair out of his face, wetly clinging to his skin. “Do you like torturing me, is that it?”
“Not particularly,” Techno says with a shrug.
“Then tell me what it would take to convince you?”
There’s so much about Quackity that betrays his inhuman nature it. The sharpness of his fangs catches the light and his claws pick at the rock. Techno just is smart enough to stay a good three feet away from the edge of the water so the nixie can’t drag him in.
“If you could stop bringing me here that’d be great,” Techno says. “I’m just trying to take an evening stroll, man.”
“It’s in my nature,” Quackity says flippantly while waving him away. “Asking me not to lure in humans is like asking the seasons to stop changing.”
“Quackity!”
At the sound of Wilbur’s voice, the man quickly ducks back into the water. Techno watches the ripples in the lake, feeling some kind of relief. As if something was pressing down on his chest without him noticing.
“Techno, are you okay?” Wilbur grabs his wrist. It makes him want to flinch away on instinct, but he can’t.
Unlike with Quackity, Techno already messed up with this guy. Staying away from magic used to be a bigger issue for Techno and he’s paying the price every single day.
“Peachy,” he deadpans. “Why would you think otherwise?”
“Because you kind of have a tendency to get thralled,” Wilbur tells him. His grin is so self-indulgent, Techno wishes he could slap it off his face really.
“Oh, I wasn’t going to claim him.” Quackity rolls his eyes at them from where they’re peeking out a few inches above the water.
“Tell that to all the other shit you stole from me,” Wilbur snarls back. “This is not one of our little contests, Quackity.”
“Sure, Wilbur, we’ll see about that.” The nixie raises his hand above the water to wave. “See ya later, Techno.”
Techno waves back until Wilbur drags his arm down, irritated. “This is why you got kidnapped by fae in the first place,” he tells Techno.
“Actually I’m pretty sure I got kidnapped because you tricked me into accepting a gift.”
“Who takes a potato from a stranger?”
“I’m appealed you’d even have to ask.”
Techno laughs all the way through Wilbur grumbling as he drags him back to his ‘family’. Say what you will, being condemned to living with fae has never been boring.
