“Nobody Said It Was Easy, No One Ever Said It Would Be This Hard…”

I am sick, when I’m sick I’m emotional so now everyone has to be emotional with me.

Branch to John Dory: Do you remember when I was little and we got trapped outside during a storm and couldn’t get back home so we had to stay in a hollowed out tree. I was so scared but you told me we were camping and started telling me these insane stories of adventures we would go on until I fell asleep.

John Dory: No

Branch to Bruce: Do you remember when I was being picked on by Creek and you found out and threatened him to get him to leave me alone.

Bruce: I’m sorry what?

Branch to Clay: What about you? How about the time I was so sick I couldn’t get out of bed for days and you stayed in the room with me the whole time waiting on me hand and foot resulting in you getting sick yourself.

Clay: *Confused*

Branch to Floyd: On the anniversary of the incident I was feeling so down and depressed that I didn’t want to leave my house. You showed up and did a few puzzles with me before telling me random stories from when you and the guys were younger to keep me distracted from my thoughts that day. Remember that?

Floyd: Sorry Branch, I don’t remember that happening.

Branch: Because it never did. The events happened but you four weren’t there for me but these four were. *points to Kismet* Ablaze told me stories when we got stuck in the storm to keep me from being scared. Hype threatened Creek when he was bullying me. Trickee stayed with me when I was sick. Boom stayed with me on the anniversary of the day you four left me. These four are my brothers not by blood but they stayed by my side when I had no one.

People make fun of snw for having tarsus iv survivor on Jim’s Starfleet bio but honestly all of this was public information in conscience of the king. There are two scenes dedicated to Jim and Spock separately finding out Kevin Riley was one of the other survivors. It’s public information but the public doesn’t care.

Yes it’s fun for fanfiction to have the tarsus 9’s names redacted from the survivors lists and to have Jim go out of his way to keep that shit private but the reality is that the massacre is regarded by the galaxy at large as a horrible thing that happened, but that it was one of many horrible things and the case is closed.

Bones trying to brush Spock off when Spock is explaining everything he’s learned, and Bones’ response to Spock bringing up Kodos had his own theories of eugenics, are the most telling here.

“Unfortunately he wasn’t the first.”

The general public know the basic details of what happened, and the person who orchestrated the crimes seemingly died. And despite no positive ID on the body, Starfleet stopped looking into it. Everyone wanted it to go away. They choose not to bring it up. I’d argue that’s part of the point. All of this is public data but almost everyone involved wanted it to die. Even some of the victims. (Jim). But the thing about an untreated wound is that it can fester, and get worse until it’s impossible to ignore. And now you’re in a situation where 7 out of 9 survivors of a massacre are dead, all around the same time a company of actors performed in the area they lived.

Conscience of the King stands as a greater lesson on why willfully ignoring uncomfortable history will lead to people not learning from their parents’/ancestors’ mistakes and/or worse, make the same mistakes/commit the same crimes.

It was the worst day for Zoro’s heart as he learned his mate was kidnapped, marrying someone else, and perhaps never going to see him again. Taking his frustration on others was the only thing to keep himself from shading tears

Guess who rewatched Zou arc? 😭

More Danny AU stuff. 

Dash needs to chill forreal thou but since Danny keeps getting injured Dash will continue to be overprotective. 

Ablaze: Good responses for being stabbed with a knife?

Boom: Rude.

Hype: That’s fair.

Trickee: Not again.

Branch: Are you going to want this back?

This is my bigjigglypanda string art!! I hope y’all like it!

I was bored so I started doing a rough storyboard-ish for this, my back started hurting though so I had to stop and take a break. Should I continue this and/or actually finish it? I dunno :p What do you guys think? (I’d animate the whole clip, not just this bit)

Personally, one of my favorite parts of fandom is everyone trying to figure how to fit “dad” into the name of various father figure characters

OK, hear me out Tumblr.

Imagine this song, but it’s John Dory singing Lucifer’s part & Ablaze from Kismet singing Alastor’s part, with Boom playing Niffty.

It would be “Troll’s Best Brother!”

And of course Branch would be Charlie in this.

Oh, and Viva could be Mimcy!!!

Just a small idea I wanted to put out here on Tumblr.

Au based on the fact that Branch was originally supposed to be the one taken.

Part 1(You are here!), Part 2, Part 3,

——-

- Branch is taken for being a part of Kismet, which means Kismet gets the letters and sneak in through the ducts only to find a pissed off Branch stuck in a perfume bottle.

- They make fun of him for about 5 mins before trying to break it/unscrew the top to let him out.

- It quickly becomes clear they can’t get him out, panic starts especially when Branch tells them what Velvet and Veener are using him for, and why they got those letters.

- That makes them panic more.

- Branch mumbles that there is something that can break diamond, it takes Kismet asking 3 times before he finally admits that if they can find his brothers and get them to sing together, there may be a chance, a small, tiny, chance they could do the perfect family harmony and break the diamond.

- Kismet had no idea he had brothers. They have questions.

- Branch tells them that last he heard John Dory was in the Neverglade Trail, but that was 20ish years ago and he doesn’t know if he’s still there.

That’s all I got so far I’m calling this Kismet Harmony just so I can find it easier.
