Remember back in 2020 when the Banana Fish fandom all collectively agreed that Shorter, Yutlung, and Sing would be friends if the anime was lighthearted...
Yeah, that headcannons and getting old Shane clips on my Tiktok is what inspired this
haha these lyrics kinda feel like I think THE APPLE'S ROTTEN RIGHT TO THE CORE
FROM ALL THE THINGS PASSED DOWN FROM ALL THE APPLES COMING BEFORE
I SPLIT THE APPLE DOWN SYMMETRICAL LINES
AND WHAT I FIND IS KINDA SCARY
MAKES ME JUST WANNA DRIVE
Magical Boy
can't sleep
i gotta finish this fucking big bang five nights at freddys fic the struggle is real
i love looking at severance tumblr and seeing people dissect the dynamics between imark and omark and helly and helena because it’s exactly what we used to to with ladynoir and adrinette and marichat and ladrien
severance is just miraculous ladybug for grown ups
this 100 word drabble is the feather chapter from my @sadrien-week ficlet Like Salt Water to a Blister, posted yesterday to ao3, but I like it so much, I decided to share it here on its own.

It was strange, to feel so proud of something so entirely morbid. But every bit of her was.
Her heart dropped to her stomach when it happened. When she saw her precious baby, lying on the ground, tears streaming down his red, ruddy cheeks. His tiny leg— swollen, even beyond the normal baby fat. It was horrible.
But at the same time, it was magnificent.
Instead of floating like a feather, he fell— to Earth. Solid, and human, and breakable. Real.
“Hush, you’re okay,” Emilie whispered as she brought Adrien close, kissing golden hair. “My love, stop crying.”
He did.
im normal about these guys btw
this is so funny because i got this from myself putting something in my notes app (i do NOT remember) and was just like "yeah fuck it we ball"
The wildest thing about Ben 10 is that it took until 2005 for someone to have the idea "what if a kid could turn into a bunch of aliens" like this isn't obviously the coolest and most marketable premise for anything ever. Each design is a new toy. A new powerset. Come on.
But to prove that it wasn't a fluke, they continued to have the best ideas for every aspect of it. How does he transform? A cool watch you can also sell as a toy. That watch's name? Omnitrix. Say it. It's so satisfying. How many aliens? Ten. Nice round number. The kid's name? Ben. The show's name? Ben Ten. His full name is Benjamin Tennyson, a normal, plausible name, but he also turns into 10 aliens.
Bigger brands dream about this synergy. Better writers would kill for this coherence. So holistic. So intuitive. The identity alone!!! The retro alien sound motif? Chilling. The green? Any other color would be wrong. The kirby krackle pattern? It seems so obvious in retrospect. The roadtrip format? Genius. Lesser writers would've done the spider-man high school thing. His arch nemesis being Cthulhu darth vader? Inspired, iconic, intimidating!
The execution has its highs and lows, but the idea??? Game changing. So self-evident that it seems inevitable. If Ben 10 didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
