The song "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" is actually a two-sided conversation. On one side, you have a pair of very sarcastic brothers, on the other side, there is a time-displaced Byzantine trying to get home.

What is your hc on boomercup? for me, I think they bonded over the fact that they are the odd ones out of their siblings. Brick and Butch are always together doing things Blossom and Bubbles doing things together, and Buttercup and Boomer are just left out, not that they want to do the things their siblings are doing I also hc that boomer moved out like when he was 15-16 so that just adds to how estranged his relationship with his brothers is whilst buttercup is going out all the time with her friends just so she doesn't have to see how close her sisters are and how estranged she is and I also hc that they both were the last to get together so their siblings mostly blossom and bubbles set up double dates just so they make buttercup and boomer be together
I’m literally so excited someone asked me abt them I’m like in tears. This is a super long post just to give you a heads up
Just rq I feel like with how oblivious the two are they’d be like “why are we literally being dragged on a date” and then ditch their siblings to hang out with each other, said siblings laughing at them when they finally get together like “that’s literally WHY WE INVITED YOU BOTH WE BASICALLY FORCED YOU ON A DATE WITH EACH OTHER” “oh”
Ok so a one-shot I actually had in mind basically touches upon exactly that also loosely inspired by “Pity Party” by Melanie Martinez (full idea beneath the cut), although my main work right now—the fic I have going (you can find it under the tbmg tag I have on this post and my pinned) is Boomer being impulsive to try to impress some girl in a class they all share by trying to be “good” and so asking for help, and given it’s the most-behaved Ruff and the least-behaved Puff and somewhere along the line they’re still classified as a villain and a hero respectively despite not being too different fundamentally and it’s mostly a character study in that aspect while still building their friendship before getting them together. I like to think that as crime lessens in the future the Ruffs mostly stop having contact with Mojo and low contact with HIM providing they’re mainly just tools to them unlike the Puffs to Professor, who he sees as his children and created them specifically to have children in his life. Boomer, in Buttercup’s opinion, is the most annoying since he’s as much of an instigator as she is. For the most part they lose contact with the other groups save for Boomer and sometimes Brick just trying to have a bit of fun by getting on their nerves and eventually only really focus on Buttercup since she’s the only one to still give them a reaction
That, and it’s nice to have someone that can actually match each other’s strength—they mostly get into fights when having a rough day, when they need to either beat the shit out of someone until they feel better or it means violence is still some kind of physical contact that says there’s some kind of care in it, good or bad
This is sort of what I’m alluding to at the start of said fic that I’ll try to delve into further into the next chapter or the one following. During the next chapter is when I have them actually chatting and getting to actually know one another aside from any insecurities to jab at to initiate a fight
I have another hc I’ll put in a rb here at a later date bc it deals with some heavier topics (EDIT: some are featured here)
Alright one-shot idea:
What do you think about the "teddy bears and machine guns" game from the "please don't tell my parent's" series?
I honestly like the idea of it as a game, and it's too bad that it was really only important in the 1st book.
Honestly, I mostly don't have a lot of thoughts about it. It sounds like a kind of game (or maybe three kinds of game mashed together?) that I suspect I wouldn't enjoy much, but Penny et al seem to enjoy it.
I do wish we'd gotten a better idea of what's involved, though. Toybox seems to be an RTS, Candy is some kind of solo adventure with base-building elements, and Junkyard is... Spore-esque, maybe?
Out of curiosity, why do you ask, beyond that I'm familiar with PTDMP?
I just started listening to The Else
This is crazy. This might be my new favorite album from them. All of these songs are absoulutely incredible. Every single one.

A very merry hello specifically to the Boomercup shippers that support trans hcs <3 first chapter is up and I know it’s a touch iffy given I haven’t edited it yet. It’s here though!!
This will eventually have trans masc Buttercup and nb Boomer (he/she/they or just she/they, haven’t decided yet), and as soon as the rest are introduced there’s trans fem Butch, lesbian Blossom, unidentified Bubbles, and bi king Brick bc I said so.
Eventual Butchossom (Blossutch???????) and Brickubbles, I’m also likely gonna draw trans Butch and BC refs when I get the chance to differentiate the two :] I’m also gonna probably come up w my own names for the ships for funzies. Anyway I hope this is ok for now <3
Edit: edited slightly now I feel a little better abt it
So Ive started building a proper playlist for TBMG rather than the messier youtube one linked in the first chapter.
This one is trying to be more specific to the characterization and development in the fic over just a general ship playlist.
Still in progress, knowing me it will probably double in length eventually, song order will change, ect.
I spent way too long doing this. Could I, in that time, have actually sketched a dress idea? Yes. Did I want to on a Monday after just getting out of work? No.
Thank God for dollmakers.
Anyways I'm trying to figure out the obligatory Pretty Asgardian Party Dress for Darcy in TBMG.
Am I anywhere near writing that chapter? Also no. But these things are important.
Audience thoughts?
Bonus Jane in the one and 4 real dresses at the bottom. I have also just thought about ripping off Galadriels green dress in TROP
