Yeah, but he was extremely nervous, ergo him being flustered easily.

Must make it more tragic. Must make it as tragic as yours.

(Daichi blows a raspberry in The Aviator's general direction.)

The events of the dream actually happened. I misread that ending some.

(and I figured everything was super-sudden because being that flustered when asking someone for a date wouldn't typically be a thing if you were planning to propose to them?)

- Tomash

Well, it technically is. Since it's a dream of his past/nightmare. So it actually did happen. (Multiple dates happened, implied)

Thanks for the suggestions though!

I like that for all Daichi's flustered around Akira, they still are comfortable enough around each other to tease and joke around.

The headband being put on backwards was a nice touch, especially when Akira fixed it near the end.

(The Aviator: "Hey, I thought the heartbroken drunk was my archetype!")

So, up until the final bits, I'd thought this was a bit from Daichi's backstory. I was expecting to the ending to be him getting rejected because he was asking for marriage because this was (it seemed) the first date.

And then it turned out it was a dream.

Poor guy.

In retrospect, the bit about everyone being overjoyed was also a noticeable hint.

Style note "on his Uchiha clan attire and his headband on" is echoing. Not sure if it's actually wrong, it just sounds weird to me

Also, ", 'nother" needs fixing, maybe in a different way than I just proposed.

I'd suggest rewording "Fellow clansmen around him were overjoyed, seeing someone they knew extremely happy, it was almost instinctual." to something like "Fellow clansmen around him were overjoyed because they saw someone they knew extremely happy. It was almost instinctual."

- Tomash

and from what I know of the species, it was accurate.

I also liked the bit where Dawn had to awkwardly explain that figure of speech.

- Tomash

about the idea of getting married for the free cake.

This wasn't a story that made me fall over laughing, but I liked the concept and thought it was good.

I assume it's deliberately unclear if those two actually get married?

- Tomash

but I can see why you'd want stuff like net neutrality posts to be on-topic.

The examples list is a non-trivial thing.

I approve the change to salmon cannons though.

[One of the Snow-Givers surrounding Tomash is instantly immolated by Twistey's flamethrower] Retreat! Retreat!

[The SGs fall back; waves at the planes still overhead] Concentrate all fire on the flamethrower!

[The Solar Bomber starts dropping snowballs on Twistey; this includes the Psy-Ball, which immediately starts throwing snow anywhere and everywhere; hS watches grimly]

What've I got? Uh... SG DML, update me.

o-o-Snow-Giver status: 12/19 operational. 4 retreating from Tomash, 2 on the Bomber, 2 on the Flappy Plane, 4 in the Habukkuk.-o-o

Okay. We need... I think we need a wall. Build me a wall. And... and send someone to get the Flappy Plane back in the air, it's embarassing.

[Two SGs start building a wall from the remains of the Habukkuk; the other two head off towards the Flappy Plane, which is lying on the ground flapping pathetically]

It emails the subject, author, date and time of every post from the past day, and a link to each one.

Why the description at the foot of the Board is so wildly misleading, I have no idea. I'll see if it can be fixed.

because a circular linked list in Rust was being annoying.

Solution at at this Pastebin

If you're only on season one of Haven, there aren't too many fics I can recommend. The majority pull from the first three seasons at least, even ones set in season one.

I had never actually thought to look up Trollhunters fics. I don't know why. I mean I've looked up Tangled and Frozen fics, so I'm not anti-cartoon fics. (I seem to have a knack for finding the darkest fics ever written for things like Disney cartoons, so fair warning.) Hmm. Looking through my bookmarks would probably disturb most people. All well written stories, but most of them disturbing.

I have a non-disturbing Marvel fic that would have fit well with the tone of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon.

Bungle in the Jungle

Summary: Tony and Clint are traipsing through a jungle filled to the brim with mutant cats, mind-scrambling crystals, rope bridges, and man-eating, genetically altered piranhas. What could possibly go wrong?

A gratutious, light-hearted whump fic where everything that could go wrong, does go wrong.

Hopefully I provided enough info to be sufficient. I promise I'll start reading all those spinoffs and the rest of the Original Series very soon.

Here's what I got out of an ANSI version, using only the first suggestion:

The agents were dumped into the latter by default and the broken finger pointed at his stalk eyes to the computer read the language that made up the world is overrun with Sues to fight the Sues and Nume had promised to hit me with a wand and my notebook and stood with his red pen stuck at an authoritative angle behind his ear and told her to go back to headquarters anyway?~doesn't work that way as the characters had hysterics with a sigh of relief and replaced his shades with his regular glasses and beckoned to Ilraen and opened a portal to the fic won't jerk us around anymore on account o' the fire was a Dalek exterminating the viruses of the room without speaking a word in edgewise before Nita was angry at him and four angry dragonets to gorge the agents were dumped into the latter by default

As you can see, I stopped when it started repeating itself. I'm not even gonna try to figure that mess out. ^_^;

First, I don't think Botnik likes Unicode. I fed it everything from the RC 999 spinoff and wanted to make sure the angle brackets and such got preserved, so I used Unicode instead of ANSI, but maybe that was a bad idea, because it stuck gibberish Unicode blocks between every actual character, and I can't seem to copy & paste it. Sigh.

Second, picking the top middle choice gave me weirdness (first sentence), but picking the top left choice just spat back out whole lines as they were originally written, word for word from "Family Ties." Is it supposed to do that? Was I doing it wrong? O.o

Here's what I got:

The Andalite peered avidly as a cover her. It was fortunate that the world was full of uncertainty and and that the future was shadowed. Then she left. The doppelganger, having been given a name and thus full character status, lingered instead of fading out with the scene. Nume pulled out his wand and delivered a Full Body Bind with such force that Sithchean actually scudded across the floor before he was quite prone.

Perhaps the examples for 16 could be "stories, news articles fandom news, websites, trebuchets full of pie salmon cannons"?

Because while I like the trebuchet full of pie and we should definitely test it out sometime, the salmon cannon is a random, silly, awesome thing that actually happened. ^_^

Also the spaced em dashes/hyphens should either be unspaced em dashes or spaced en dashes throughout the article.

I knew I wanted to end with that line but getting there, especially the video bit, had to be re-written three or four times before I was happy with it. It also seemed to change planet each time I re-wrote it, but I think having it on Alderaan (for those who didn't recognise the planet I was trying to describe) actually works really well.
