johnny cage > pudge

warnings: insecure johnny *chewing on his pudge rn*

notes: guys im tweaking over johnny hardcore this time around thanks to my favorite enabler @spacepl4ant <3

[ masterlist ]

• johnny has been insecure as of late, pulling and squishing at his body with frustrated groans every time he dressed himself in the mirror. his jawline softened, chest puffed and stomach spilling out over his belt. he didn't want to admit just how far he let himself go, drinking on his off-days and spending more time on the couch instead of his at-home gym. it took a toll on his perfect physique.

• he didn't want to burden you with the realization, opting to ignore the change by wearing looser clothing or pulling away when your touches get too intimate. it put you off, leaving you confused and worried on why he's being so distant. was it something you did? something you didn't do?

• it wasn't that he was neglecting you or declining your touch, he just visibly tensed or conveniently turned away to your physical advances. he felt gross, he felt unlike himself, as if he was wearing the wrong skin and it made it crawl. johnny wondered if you would be disgusted or upset with his lack of attention to his body. baggy clothes were his go-to.

• johnny knew you didn't properly notice, instead assuming he was going through a wardrobe change and trying something new. but, upon checking his walk-in closet, you didn't notice any new clothes.

• the two of you were getting ready for a dinner date out, johnny opting for one of his larger button-ups and flowy pants. as he faced the mirror to don the shirt, your padding footsteps were down the hall and quickly approaching.

• he couldn't just slam the door on you, what an asshole he'd be, but he didn't want you seeing his bare stomach and the way the pudge poured over his belt buckle. johnny tried pulling the pants up further, but instead ended up looking like a fumbling idiot as you finally walked into the bedroom.

• you were already ready, always earlier than your husband - he was the diva, not you - and you leaned against the doorway, whistling at the side-view he provided.

• "hey there superstar," you coo, looking him up and down. johnny feels hot. "looking good, my love."

• "thanks, sugar," his voice is strained, upset as he fumbles with the belt. "i think my belt shrunk in the wash."

• you give him a funny look. "you're not throwing your belts in the washer, are you?"

• he whines, flopping his arms to the side and looking at the ceiling with a huff. "no, it's not fitting right. i think i've gained weight."

• "i know," you nod, walking over to him and hugging him from behind. "i don't care."

• "you don't?" his voice is gentler, softer. "i do."

• "why?"

• "because i don't look like johnny cage," he moans, tugging at his shirt. "i feel awful. i wasn't training, i drank, i've been just... lazy."

• you're quiet for a while before you open your mouth to reply. "i think you look like johnny cage," your voice has a concealed playfulness to it. "i mean, you're who i married, and you still have my favorite parts."

• "what's that then?" he frowns. "if not my muscles."

• you trail your hands around his body as you face him, tearing his gaze away from the mirror behind you. your eyes can't help but trail across his features with a warm smile, struggling to pick the first thing you could.

• "your nose," you begin, getting on tippy toes to kiss it. "i like the shape. strong, charming.

• "your eyes," you place fluttering kisses, just barely on his lashes. "warm, they're expressive and you have a cute puppy dog look."

• "your hair," you run your fingers through the silky locks, scratching with your nails ever so slightly against his scalp. "you take good care of it, it's soft and cute when you wake up in the morning."

• "alright, alright," he giggles, pushing you away by your hips. "i get it."

• you pout at him, crossing your arms. he chuckles and pulls away, stepping back. you point behind him, to the bed. he raises his hands in a surrendering motion and plops his butt onto the sheets.

• you're quick to climb onto him, kicking your shoes off and straddling his lap. johnny's hands instinctively fall to your outer thighs, supporting you as you sat on his own.

• "you're sweet to me," you continue, hands on his face, ever so slightly kneading at his cheeks. "you're handsome, you're charming, you know what you want and you strive to get it, you're creative, you're brave, i mean, nobody else could've done what you did back in sun do. you saved the timeline. i'm glad you did, or i wouldn't be here with you."

• "it wasn't just me that saved everything," he protests, but not entirely denying your reassurance. "we had ninjas, fire gods, monks-"

• "ah-" you put a finger to his lips, his eyes widen in surprise. "but you were there. you gave kenshi purpose, you had that stupid, stupid drone, you cheered everyone up, you looked out for others. only johnny cage did that."

• he grins lopsidedly, scanning your face in admiration. "you're such a sweetheart."

• "because you deserve it," you kiss the tip of his nose. "and for the record, you're cute with a little tummy."

MHA Hot Take #4

People are way too harsh to Spinner just because he's cringe, like some people were just dedicated to demonizing everything Spinner did.

Spinner: says he admires Dabi for being strong and determined and that he won't go down so easily.

Everyone: He's encouraging Dabis suicidal ideation somehow because he didn't purposefully book Dabi a therapy appointment.

Dabi: gets back up because he's strong and determined.

Spinner: Idealizes shigaraki a little too much gets tricked by afo into doing his bidding thinking he is helping shigaraki, gets his mind violated, and in the last moments realizes he liked shigarakis one on one time getting to know each other more than his big moment destroying deika city as a part of a character arc.

Everyone: Spinner is a terrible enabler to Shigaraki.

Spinner: puts a hand on shigarakis face to wake him up in a crisis situation where the heroes are about to kill them and afo takes over shigas body.

Everyone: This is spinners fault somehow and not you know AFOs.

Like damn you can be a serial killer but goddamn you if you're kind of codependent and needy.

[borderlinebox]

Hello! I really love your writing and saw your requests are open :D

Wondering if you could write a headcannon of what it would be like being chishiya’s childhood friend? like how would they meet and what would their dynamic be like

gn! kid reader who’s selfless and caring like arisu wanting to befriend him (whos been staring at the Mona Lisa painting for quite awhile)

Sorry if this doesn’t make any sense

have a nice day/evening/night ⭐️

Chishiya's Childhood Best Friend Headcannons!

A/N: Im giggling so hard rn cause I've been planning on a lot of chishiya x childhood bestfriend! reader so this was so ♥ i mean like 'return to me' was legit that shshsjdj tysm for this req <3 i love this req smmm

Pairing: Chishiya x Childhood Bestfriend!Reader

Warning: Season 2 spoilers

Feedback is highly appreciated!!!

Before Borderlands:

both of your parents were friends

all giggling and shit in the background as if they werent shitty people

you held your mom's hand all unamused as they were talking

but then you saw another kid staring at that one mona lisa painting

so of course

you went to him

you started to introduce yourself and chatted with him for a while

you talked more because all he mostly did was hum and nod

both your parents saw how 'close' yall were so they set both of you up with studydates. playdates arent their cup of tea

it took a while for chishiya to open up to you

but of course, you were the only person who comforted him because you saw right through his little charades

im sure you were both so close only because you were so persuasive and just really liked his company!

he does too but he wont let you know that

chishiya also kept you close because of that 'you know me too much'

so its either friendship or death

but you chose friendship of course

when you guys grew older, maybe teenage years,

chishiya really thought you would leave and never see him again

he was a little bit relieved but also partly scared and worried

but you pulled an uno reverse and visited like a lot.

he hates admitting the fact that you're his best friend and probably his only friend

he wouldn't mind you calling him 'chishi', 'shi', 'shiya' and whatever nickname you can get out of his name

you both played games of course.

he made/helped you in mind games

and you helped him with more physical and hands-on things. especially with teamwork.

because that little shit likes doing everything himself and he had to learn how to share

you'd come to him to ask for help and vice versa ,

after a lot of denial of course

can we all agree that chishiya is a bit of a tsundere? because yes.

but he'd be more sleek and good at hiding his feelings.

he'd tease you but you'd tease him back

you'd already call him doctor the moment he joined medical school as a joke

you're definitely going to let him reconsider his point of views and ideals.

he listens but he doesn't apply

he hates how much you care for him,

hates how much you would put him first

but that's cause he likes the affection.

again, he'd lie to himself about his feelings lets be real

but i really do imagine a classic opposites attract dynamic

"somebody will die-" "of fun!"

or like you create the chaos and he is the smart, chilled out chaos enabler

in short, both of you guys are two peas in a pod except that he dislikes admitting it

but he wouldn't mind being by your side

During Borderlands:

i really, honestly, wouldn't think that you'd come in there with him during this time

but if there's a chance that you do join,

fuck you because he is going to be having your back even when you dont realize it

sure, he probably only wants you as an asset. but goddamnit-

you already understand that he is the type of person who would betray others

i think you even told him that both of you should split up so that you wouldnt get in his way

honestly, he thought it was a good idea too

but ofc, every goddamn game you finished, chishiya's outside waiting for you

then both of you agreed thst you'd split up from time to time

but when you guys were in a same match then expect war against the other players

because power duo

especially in a game of clubs

chishiya is honestly very lucky that you got his back in games of spades and clubs

if the game turns out to be diamonds and/or hearts,

you'd help him think and solve situations with him

but for the most part, you're just there under his protection

because people would definitely try to manipulate the both of you or like, mostly you

and if you look bigger, taller and maybe even a little bit ripped than chishiya from all those physical games,

PICK 👏 HIM 👏 UP

like we all saw that bastard jog from those bullets in season 2

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PICK HIM UP

when the king of spades is starting to bite yalls asses,

just literally swoop in and pick him up like he's fucking nothing because its definitely better than watching him jog around with his hands in his mf pockets

but i hc that you picked him up in several occasions

hell, you'd pick him up like aguni did niragi

you become very good friends with kuina!!!

she's honestly baffled how you could pick this stone up

oh and you definitely taught her how to read chishiya or how to truly understand his 'cute' antics and remarks

protect him from niragi. please.

he can DEFINITELY protect himself from niragi but

you just selfless and caring like that

it would probably make his heart happy if you do that but yk him

and if you join the jack of hearts game,

then thats where your bond REALLY starts to show

because you trust one another

honestly, you were probably ready to bash that big bully's head in if he started threatening chishiya

chishiya would also reassure you that he would tell you the truth and only the truth

and he knew you were being genuine because everytime you told him his symbol after he told you yours, you'd have a dumbass, dorky smile on your face that he liked so much

y'all would honestly pass the time chatting

philosophy, what the games could mean or even just memories before borderlands

after the king of diamonds game though, he seemed so off

you asked what's wrong and he told you that he was just thinking

and at the time when chishiya was planning to sacrifice himself for usagi, you left him to try and shoot niragi using the gun he gave him

haha, the anger on your face when niragi shot him

but then you were caught off guard when chishiya suddenly went to usagi and you swear to god you heard him say a soft 'sorry'

you almost had a breakdown when he got a second bullet

but instead of choosing to stomp niragi, you decided to stay by chishiya's side and help him stop from bleeding as you lay him next to a car

both of you would then slowly start softly chatting about his life choices

while people were being murdered.

im sure he let you hold him like that,

trying to stop the blood

and omg when he told arisu his secret, you felt so much sympathy for him

then chishiya probably told you that while he was thinking to be selfless for once,

he kept thinking about you and everything you told him

ever since you both met

because before arisu, you were the most selfless and caring person he knew

and after all those times you told him that it would make yourself feel better after you helped others. because you were so sweet

he wanted to try it out for once

and when you both saw the fireworks in the sky, you told him how excited you were to see him again in the real world

After Borderlands:

you were definitely walking together and talking when the meteor disaster happened.

like you were laughing and he was just listening to you

and then you woke up, next to him

different bed of course

and other than the ceiling, he was the first thing you saw

he was looking at you when you woke up

"good morning" he'd say

and you'd be so fucking ecstatic that he was alive

then both of you would just start chatting about how your near-death situation affected you

you were glad to hear that he was planning to change his life ideals and pov

when both of you could walk around the hospital, there was never a moments that a doctor or nurse wouldn't see the both of you chatting together

this is when your bond with him starts to really strengthen

[xstarkillerx]

WHAT. what. what do you mean how do you get over the shame of being attracted to Dominic Torretto?? 😧 you let the shame eat at you or actually why should there even be shame?? because i love that man that ‘bald menace’ i love him to the point my body aches and my dear donnie you will not just be screaming into the void, because I’ll be there i would gladly be the one to scream back because fuck i need more stuff about that man 😮‍💨 … or yeah yk idk 🫠

love ya 🫂

You're such an enabler

Listennnn I'm only ashamed because it's Vin Diesel and he's likeee the type of Hollywood actor my mother would be attracted to, but I can't help it Dom's so fucking hot.

Like did you SEE the way he just be grabbing Letty's ass in the car in Los Bandoleros???!!!! (01:04) the way he can fit her entire cheek in that massive hand like, imagine those thick fingers sliding in and out of a dripping wet pussy I can't do this. He's so big, not just tall, big and thick and his arms have the stamina of a god from working on cars all day.

Or the way he'll literally borderline fuck in public, just straight up pull you into his lap and kiss and grope you like no one's watching. Like I'm not even an exhibitionist but the thought of that drives me crazy, because it's Dom Toretto, who's gonna check y'all? The thought of him getting hard, right then and there, kissing down the line of your neck, biting your nipples through your shirt while a party goes on around the two of you. I'm barking rn because that's probably why he flirts with other women all the goddamn time, he's waiting for the day you get so fired up about it you initiate the public make out.

I'm going to spill the beans because I'm legit so fried right now and I've been sitting on this forever and I really don't know when it's gonna get done, but I'm working on something where he finger fucks you over the charger, popped hood, engine up and running. There's more to it obviously but I need you to see where my head's been at. He's got his left hand holding yours down against the edge of the hood, the metal biting into your palms and his grip warm and firm. His other hand slides down the line of your body, pushing you closer to that fucking BEAST of a car while it's roaring right in your face, before his hand hikes your skirt up, pushes your panties to the side and rubs your clit until you beg him to stick them them inside you. And like obviously there a reasonnnnn but I'm not spoiling that here

Omg you have no idea how long I've been waiting to say that ok bueeeeeeee 😁👋👋👋👋👋

“Why so gloomy, roomie?”

“I've had tapeworms that were less parasitic.”

“If you're looking for the toaster strudels, I got really high last night and ate them all.”

“I don't know how you can expect anyone else to love you when you so clearly hate yourself.”

“I pride myself on my ability to separate my professional life from my personal life.”

“I really gotta start putting my phone on airplane mode when I drink.”

“Sorry I haven't really been mingling. I get kind of awkward at parties.”

“I'm responsible for my own happiness? I can't even be responsible for my own breakfast!”

“Don't put things in my butt if you want them back.”

“Well, that was another in a long series of regrettable life choices.”

“Well, that went slightly better than the worst it could have possibly gone, so... Hooray?”

“Just like always, you're right, and everyone else is wrong. But if you don't swallow your pride, this is never gonna let up.”

“I'm not stubborn. I'm proud.”

“Is this a necessary conversation to be having right now?”

“You know what the problem is with everybody? They all just want to hear what they already believe. No one ever wants to hear the truth.”

“I want to hear the truth. I don't know if you want to tell it, though.”

“Your family will never understand you. Your lovers will leave you or try to change you. But your fans, you be good to them, and they'll be good to you.”

“No matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts, you don't stop dancing, and you don't stop smiling, and you give those people what they want.”

“People don't usually want to hang out with me after rehab. I'm really more of a before-rehab friend.”

“Ahab's got a white whale to catch, baby!”

“You're not this girl's father, and you're not doing her any favors by refusing to set boundaries.”

“I get letters every day from boys telling me that I was the first girl they masturbated to.”

“You're not my dad. You're just a rugged, older man who provided me with a strong, masculine presence during my formative years.”

“I'm at a place right now where I never need to grow as a person or rise to an occasion, because I can constantly just surround myself with sycophants and enablers until I die tragically young.”

“I'm pumping out heartfelt anecdotes and witty observations left and right.”

“I really want to be here for you in your time of need, but I'm not really good with funerals or death or families or feelings or people.”

“My family made my life miserable, and then they never forgave me for leaving.”

“Well, he was a mean, sadistic alcoholic, who never supported anything I did and actively delighted in seeing me fail.”

“I'm just saying, if you can't find a way to let off some steam you're going to explode.”

“I should've known it was a waste of time to come back here.”

“Look, take it from someone with his own shitty parents; family is a sinkhole, and you were right to get out when you had the chance.”

“The stupid thing is, even now I still just want them to be proud of me and think I did good.”

“Uh-oh. People only say they're fine when they're not fine.”

“I spy with my little eye someone who needs to shut the hell up.”

“Here. I got you a beer. It's on the house.”

“Did you think that I spent the last 20 years on my couch just feeling sorry for myself?”

“I think I need to head off to bed, and I hope I actually wake up later.”

“You have to live with the shitty thing you did for the rest of your life. You have to know that it's never, ever going to be okay.”

“You know what your problem is? You want to think of yourself as the good guy. Well, I know you better than anyone, and I can tell you that you're not.”

“You'd probably sleep a lot better at night if you just admitted to yourself that you're a selfish goddamn coward who takes whatever he wants and doesn't give a shit about who he hurts.”

“So... Should we talk about how you just tried to kiss me?”

“I'm not going to waste another thought on you.”

“Bad news-- I lost my driver's license.”

“Can you... Drive me everywhere I need to go for the next three months?”

“You know, with my knack for coming up with plans and your ability to hear them without contributing more than three words at a time, we make a pretty good team, don't we?”

“I was just trying to be a good friend in my own shitty, ass-backwards way.”

“You know, sometimes I feel like I was born with a leak, and any goodness I started with just slowly spilled out of me, and now it's all gone.”

“Why is it that 90% of our conversations these days revolve around plotting sabotages?”

“Look, all publicity is good publicity.”

“I need to go take a shower so I can't tell if I'm crying or not.”

“Maybe I just need to stop expecting you to be a good person, so that way, I won't get hurt when you're not.”

“You abandoned me, and I will never forgive you for that.”

“Unbelievable. When your powers combine... You are somehow even more stupid than the sum of your stupids.”

“They see a greatness in me, and they mistake it for goodness, but I... I know there's nothing there.”

“Look, if you really want to help people, it doesn't hurt to have a little money in your pocket.”

“I kind of think all you are is just the things that you do.”

[animentality]

Kinda devastates me, thinking about how Gortash must've felt after his parents sold him into slavery with a fucking devil to pay off some minor debts.

He's a monster for doing the same to Karlach, but I know why he did it, because in his mind, it made him stronger, when it happened to him, but also, who cares?

No one saved him, and no one cares about anyone other than themselves, so fuck her. People don't matter, use them to get what you need.

His own parents just needed a little extra cash, and well, he aims higher. He wants to make the steel watch, so whatever, give a devil this poor kid you've taken in.

It's just really goddamn sad because your parents form your entire view of the world. If they love you and support you, you offer others the same love and support. If they keep you safe, you have the room to grow and develop into whoever you want to be.

And if they treat you like something to be used and discarded and given away in exchange for a pittance...

Then of course, you're going to see others the same way. You're going to do the same to others.

I just feel bad for this monster.

I know he's evil, but I think that's why he's so compelling to me, other than the fact that he dresses like a whore. He's irredeemable, but he's also very, very understandable.

Choosing bitterness and enabling the continuous cycle of abuse...being power hungry after a childhood being the victim of those with power...

Ugh.

I love this man, I hate him, I can't stop thinking about him.

[goshdangronpa]

For the i send ya a character and You do something

Hiyoko Saionji from the hitgame dangansopa.

also Ibuki h hehehe

Let's do one at a time ^^" Starting with your fave, Hiyoko!

Yeesh, I've gotta start putting readmores on these

Sexuality Headcanon: Not sure if there's a label for this (.......demi?), but Hiyoko seems like the type who latches onto a single person at a time, if at all. She won't consciously look for a girl or guy, may not even say someone's attractive if randomly asked, but when someone's got it, she's hooked.

Gender Headcanon: I believe that some people are only passively cisgender, meaning they've never actually ruminated on their identity and considered that they might be something else, and that trans people would be less rare (if still in a very small minority) if more people did. My hc is that Hiyoko's passively cis in SDR2, and that if she grows up, gets more exposure to the idea, and opens her mind enough to question herself, she might enjoy life as a more androgynous person ... Whoa, I just projected myself onto Hiyoko.

A ship I have with said character: I know you love hiyobuki, zombyne, and I'll never take that away from you. That said, I'm basic, so I'll go with mahiyoko for this post. What does Hiyoko like about Mahiru? She's a cute redhead who takes no crap when people fail to meet her high standards, a sweet girl who'll willingly shower with a near-total stranger in a killing game, a true friend who even helps her with her own clothes. What does Mahiru like about Hiyoko (arguably the real question)? I enjoy the notion that Mahiru's more amused by Hiyoko's antics than she lets on. Don't forget, she also has a low opinion of Mikan - not as much as Hiyoko, but not enough to defend her from what are obviously unserious insults. When you're always the serious one, it's nice to let your hair down around someone. I also like the idea that Mahiru loses her goddamn lesbian mind when Hiyoko comes back from summer break taller than her.

A BROTP I have with said character: And this is where I'll talk about Ibuki! Forget the Twilight Syndrome stuff (the writers of SDR2 sure did!). Just look at their interactions! When Hiyoko basically tries Ibuki's whole life in the first trial, Ibuki shouts in amusement something like "You've pierced me with your arrow of truth!" She either knows this girl isn't serious, or she doesn't care if she is. Then the only person in the whole goddamn group who likes Ibuki's music is the most annoying bully in the bunch. That's a terrific joke that works perfectly for Hiyoko as a character. Of course the Ultimate Traditional Dancer, who likely grew up sheltered in one of those homes where modern pop is forbidden and Harry Potter is considered Satanist, would have her mind blown by Ibuki's metal freakouts. Hiyobuki as a ship is great, but even just being besties is awesome for them ... though I think they could also enable each other in just being so mean to people lol

A NOTP I have with said character: I don't have many NOTPs in general ... but I can safely rule out Teruteru after that scene in DR3. Yiiikes.

A random headcanon: Hiyoko was perfectly capable of tying her obi on her own. C'mon, she's not that childish. Occam's Razor would dictate that things went exactly as stated in the game's dialogue ... but what if Hiyoko just neglected showering altogether because she's depressed? You know, cuz she's in a goddamn killing game with a dozen-odd total strangers? Then the one person she likes and kinda trusts offers to join her in the shower and suddenly this obi thing goes from an excuse to an opportunity. When Mahiru dies, though, Hiyoko's shattered, and that comes out in her newfound inability to properly dress herself. This manifestation of her grief gets so bad that it ultimately kills her. What a tragedy: opening up to another person leaves her totally helpless against the person she dismissed as the weakest in the group. There's a fanfic in this ...

General Opinion over said character: No one needs to like Hiyoko for whatever reason. That said, the most common reason I've observed in the haters is that they wouldn't want to be friends with her in real life. In my opinion, that's an extremely boring way of looking at fictional characters - it's not like they'll ever like us back, right? Might as well enjoy Hiyoko for playing a highly important role in the SDR2 ecosystem: the mixer! It's boring if everyone's all nice and stuff. Besides, Hiyoko's no simple bully, nor is she a lost cause. Like any Danganronpa character, the girl has her own hidden depths that make her more compelling than the haters might expect. I'd elaborate ... but anyone interested should reach out to zombyne, or the many other cool people I've met who enjoy Hiyoko as a character.

Rate your friends

.

well damn alright fine LMAO

My mutuals from discord and/or Tumblr (utc cause the post is LONG)

Carmine: def a 100/10 if I have to be honest. They dealt with me SO much and my absolute nonsense as well since 2020, no words can describe how much I appreciate them for being there with me in my highest and lowest of my era. I also love terrorizing them with my muses (Lyney simp in denial), and I dont regret at all meeting and befriending them. Love you bestie <3 /p

Ryan: also a 100/10, I genuinely owe him a lot for helping me realize just. how certain things in life isn't 'normal' and fueling my brainrot/s so much. We both had so much to talk abt during the 3 years I've known him (and we're still friends to this day!), and Goddamn do I enjoy playing games w/ him and esp abt our current hyperfixations (Persona and Raincode. I still want to rattle your Yuma bot you little shit /t)

Esther (@mixed-kester) : I just met you like months ago when I first joined astronetwrk, and tbh I genuinely am v happy to have met you and enabled you BAHAHAHAHA I've been friends with her for a while but its so fun just going through the plot + AUs, and also going through pain (and making me go through a crisis with enabling and "NO YOU DID SO MUCH FOR ME" "NO, I DIDNT" LMAOOOO). Yeah, there were times when we both have our disagreements, but I genuinely could never ask for a better friend to yell at Tinuvion/Kunimitsu and the rarepare between Wanderer and Kaeya than her.

Meirin (@meimeimeirin) : I'LL SAY THIS ONCE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN: You are so cool and amazing and I'm so amazed with how you deal with my nonsense. I never saw an opportunity to talk to you outside of being on anon back then, and I genuinely thought that it won't be possible, but when EBG happened? I saw it and took it. You were so so so enjoyable to talk to, to rant about the entire event, and even after that, I enjoyed talking to you about even your simping with Zhongli and Alhaitham! I also enjoy bouncing off ideas with our threads (even if I have them on hold, I swear I'll reply to them orz). You're the sweetest person I've known and I am so, so glad to have met you and got to know you as a friend ;v; you also inspired me in writing for Genshin and for my faves, and for also sharing my thoughts on my sona and my selfships. I know you're busy but I hope you can see this because I genuinely appreciate you /pos

Yami (@pastel-rights) : YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD ARTIST WHAT THE HELL— honestly, how the fuck do you deal with me, Sam and Tae? (/lh) like I genuinely am so surprised I'm actually friends w/ you, but in a good way because you are?? So cool?? I swear I sometimes admire your art and when I say I wanna eat it, I would. You're such a good friend and I wish we can talk more fr

Tae (@nice-chiaki) : My first victim (/j), but really, I am in awe that I've met you in the mun's corner. I saw your blog with Itha and I genuinely loved interacting with him— your muse of him helped a lot in bringing me out of my idv writer's block slump because I had no ideas and ooooh, genuinely having you on vc and hearing/seeing you go through your cycles and bs with Sam and Yami (and Fifi as well) is the funniest thing. I also hate you (/exag) for the fandubs, and you making me go through a huge moment with Andrew and Cro. 0/10 wont recommend voicing villains (/j /j)

Sam (@paperbcy) : You are the biggest menace I know, and tbh I wonder if you're like a mirror to my menace self /j, but I'm kidding BAHAHAHAHA. I dont regret enabling you so much for your immorphy AU and our own shared AUs, and I sometimes wonder what would happen if I hadn't met you, Tae and Yami. Also, do not pull Father on my inbox ty

Fifi (@fffiii) : You dealt with my ass for years and I honestly question how you're still sane BAHAHAHAHA, but fr, even till now we're still together from 2016 - 2017(?) and I cannot stop but wonder how long it's been. It was v fun just looking back on our days at Q and even now, and I still appreciate you for everything even if you're a bigger menace than me.

Shiro (@leftdestiny-posts) : We may not talk as much or as often, but you are so kind and ouuuu you make me ;-; honestly. I am v thankful for you in dealing with my brainrot over TCO (which! I plan on revisiting and reviving as a long drawn series haha), and I hope that we talk more often when you have the time (ofc, no pressure!)

Ying (@yinyinggie) : OOOOH YOU'RE SO SWEET AND LUCIEN/YUZU TOO LIKE AUGHHH, I genuinely love you both as mods in astronetwrk AND outside of it. I genuinely appreciate you as a mod and a friend in keeping the server together and hosting games for us, and even when those went awry (read: the mafia game), you and the others made sure we had fun anyway and prioritized our comfort, which is so?? sweet??? I genuinely wish I can hug you and I wish we can speak more orz ily /p

There are more but I can't remember them all so o7 o/ hope this is enough anon

G Gundam meta notes, eps 30-34:

"Beautiful Fighter! Dangerous Allenby"

-you could tell Domon just about anything when he's basking in the afterglow of a good fight and it'll take him a good hot second to register

-what the hell kind of backstory does Allenby have that she was adopted by the military as a child?? (And why am I now suspicious of the circumstances under which her folks died…?)

-okay this gets into the good good "communicating with your fists" stuff, and I do love a good "I know you're in there" fight

-I love that Argo consistently believes in Domon

-oh, this is going hard on the parallels, and yet it feels more tell than show? Like we're told they're the same, but they don't feel the same - maybe just because Allenby is startlingly cheerful! Like, she has such innocent joy and awe for the littlest things, which tells us some terrible things about her life but also some wild things about her emotional resilience

"Dazzling Power of the Clown! Get Mad, Gundam Maxter"

-Bunny trying to seduce Domon is incredible

-"let's be good boys"

-i still watch this one while cringing; for something so absurd it gets so damn raw

-why did the gals ask Domon to go after Chibodee?

-”...but I bet I bored you with that silly story” that is some incredible deflection!! At the drop off a hat he's able to cut off sadness - laugh it off, even. Oh honey, it's not silly!

-and yet it seems he almost wanted to find that space to vent, just… to someone who wasn't close enough to judge

-who wants to bet he had to teach her the song, and that therefore he can sing? 

-an interesting tidbit carried over from the Japanese is that Chibodee gets this growl to his voice when he's hyped up

-we finally get a good butt shot and it's now? Damn, can't enjoy it like this

-the dub's decision to go with that choice of lullaby was so goddamn masterful!! In crapsack Neo-America, if you're stuck on Earth, literally all you have is patriotism and the land itself - like, you may have taken all the resources with you and practically left us to rot, but we have our pride, and we have the spacious skies, amber waves,,, What accidentally great worldbuilding

-TEAM NEO AMERICA FOUND FAMILY FOREVER

"Dangerous Trap! Neros Gundam Strikes Back"

-I have to laugh at Chibodee in the American flag trunks; quite a switch from the Speedo in Neo Mexico. Perhaps he wasn't meant to be seen in that skimpy thing and didn't wanna take the chance again?

-just because Wong doesn't give a shit about targeting the cockpit doesn't mean you should actually do it, Domon

-okay, Marcelot didn't take the loss as well as we thought. Also SERIOUSLY WHY IS HE THAT HUGE 

-ayyy Carlos is the one decent guy in this, and look what happens to him :/

-Michelo and his rainbow firework kick can kiss my ass

-wait, it's the end of the year and Domon is still 20?

-now I have the visual of Wong getting Michelo out of jail for the finals

-Bunny is a bad influence and enables Chibodee's impulsiveness, good job

-although it doesn't look like anyone was wearing their seatbelts

-final destination ass targets!

-okay, knees to the face looked pretty painful

-Domon's insults are charmingly tame in the dub; he uses stuff like 'scumbag' and 'loser' and 'piece of filth' just as venomously as others might wield much stronger language

-Wong wants to eradicate the Shuffle Alliance as a concept, oof

"Emissary of Darkness! Chapman Rises Again"

-”I should've stayed with my father, that way I could've snuck out” damn, Marie-Louise

-George's flying kick is pretty great

-okay so I know the whole "how can you come back from the dead and participate in the finals" seems like serious priority confusion, but I can see a decent reading as, like,,, "not only are you a zombie, but nobody's questioning it???"

-he has a knife!

-Rain and Allenby are scared of rats

-I find it interesting that Allenby is hanging around a lot. Rain doesn't appear to be uncomfortable yet

-George getting set up to protect the audience again, oh shit

-Domon also has a cool flying kick through the window, but I think George's was cooler. Maybe it's the heels

-I wonder how long Chapman was dead before being reanimated

"Stand Up Domon! Raging Tag Team Match"

-it's presumably supposed to be an illustration of Rain's jealousy, but she has a solid point re: letting other countries' reps in the cockpit, and it's interesting that Domon and Allenby are basically "this person isn't bad, therefore I don't understand the rule"

–which reminds me, for as much as they gave us real D/R moments in Guyana, since getting to the finals any reference has seemed like lip service

-with this Schwarz/Rain scene, I need to make a list of potentially shippy “A held B but under circumstances they couldn't enjoy”

-what in the good goddamn does Japan have against South/SE Asia? Like we're not even into recognizable stereotypes, this is just bizarre technicolor racism

-Allenby clinging onto Domon like that seems,,, off

-ah, it's not just lip service, it's also "let's go hard on the D/A parallels to needle Rain, this definitely won't backfire and convince viewers that D/A is more workable than D/R"

-though honestly Domon doesn't seem to act any different with Allenby than he does with his fellow Shuffles–

[justablah56]

*sighs* tell me about your fursona /lh /pos

ok first off- Vik is that you 👁️👁️ you're the only one who I know has seen my fursona recently sbjsjdjs either that or it's rae who saw it on your blog and didn't interact w it so I wouldn't think it was him if they went on anon lmao- but methinks its vik

okay now I'm gonna actually answer- bUT INSERT THAT ONE ENTRAPTA MEME- THE "IVE WAITED Y E A R S FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ABOUT MY THEORIES" YEAH THATS ME RN- anon I am looking at you with my big ol autistic eyes that are sparkling with this 10 minute unstoppable rant that is about to occur (✧⁠ω⁠✧⁠)

SO ! ampen right ? my little guy ? my baby girl ? my beloved ? I'm gonna talk mostly abt their physical design than their other details bcs I have more notes abt their physical appearance than anything :]

I have no idea what they are, I kinda just started drawing her abhdjsjsj but I think the two most notable animals he could conceivably be are probably a fox and a dragon of some sort (original I know) however I do want to give an honorable mention to my first draft of them, bcs goddamn I changed a lot abt her bsjdhsjjs. at first he was just completely a dog but I decided to give them those 3 fingered claw/hoof things, here's the very sketchy guy herself who inspired Ampen:

yeah snndjsn basically the only thing that stayed the same was the vague color scheme and the "hooves" changed from the hands to the feet. a lot of ampens physical design was just cool things I saw in other fursuits that I thought would be cool, like I just loooove the hoof feet, they look v cool and I just like them a lot, so I included them ! (I didn't in my first real drawing of ampen but then I did on their character sheet) same with the tail, I'm p sure at the time of ampens actual creation I had recently seen a dragon fursuit with that kind of tail and was obsessed with it, I tried so many different tails for him and none of them were looking quite right until I tried their current tail, and I love it . the dragon bit also comes out in her muzzle, it's a bit more pointed and sharp than a canine muzzle would be, again mostly just bcs I think it looks neat :] and I knew I wanted my fursona to have big ol ears from the very beginning, I didn't put them on ampen-rough-draft bcs I didn't start with the intent for him to be my fursona sbjdjdjs but anyways- the fur pattern took me a while to come up with, I started with just vague splotches of color in random spots, messed around with specific colors, I don't think I decided on the pink stitch mark things until like- the very end dnjsjjd I have no idea where I came up with it , I was just trying random things and hoping they looked right lmao-

I gave them glasses bcs . I have glasses . and I think it's cute and there aren't enough furrys with glasses :3 then added the piercings bcs I think they look cool and that's really it bajshjejskwks

anyways , now for the couple things that aren't visible on a drawing, I imagine her being like 5'4 MAX , he's pretty short . mostly bcs I am v short and plan to actually make ampen, and that's a height I could realistically get to accounting for the ears hdjwjdjjejdke anyways, I don't really have many other little facts about them since they're basically just me personality-wise, so make of that what you will ! I will however GLADLY answer more specific questions if you (or anyone else 👀) have them bcs it will give me an excuse to come up with answers abhdjsjdjsjjd

anyways- this is all to say that I'm in love with Ampens design and I really should draw him more often and also probably just develop them more tbh- BUT ! ty v much anon for enabling me to ramble about Ampen, they're my most specialest little guy and I love her <33

[killemwithkawaii]

Mitch, do you have any advice for anyone thinking of setting up a Ko-Fi? I'm kinda torn about whether to use Stripe or PayPal as the holder for Ko-Fi donation funds.

On one hand, I've heard PayPal had screwed digital artists over and apparently withholds money that stays in the PayPal account for too long or something like that.

On the other hand, I'm not sure I can trust Stripe as I've heard that one is not supposed to give out a certain bit of personal info as doing so would lead to identity theft (at least, that's what I heard when I was looking into enabling tips on tumblr). Also, according to another artist I follow, their tumblr tips just wouldn't make it to their bank account for some reason.

Short answer: I have used both services and would recommend Stripe 100%

Long answer: I got screwed over by paypal, not as badly as other people, but goddamn lol

I made my paypal account like a decade ago and started using it to accept payments for commissions without any problem for about a year (?) in 2020, then out of nowhere, my account was completely shut down. Apparently, the problem was that my account was a personal account and not a business account, which I didn't know- there was no indication of what kind of account I had in the app (which they constantly pushed you to use because its ~sOoOoO gOoOoOd~) and no option to change it that I could find, so I ignorantly assumed it was okay to be using my account for business and personal transactions. It was an honest mistake on my part, and would have been happy to make the change if I would have been told I needed to. I tried to sort things out as soon as I got the email informing me I could no longer use paypal, but couldn't talk to a real person (because they did this the night before a holiday weekend), so I sent an email with an appeal explaining the situation, and was rejected multiple times over the next week with automated messages. In the end, my personal account was permanently shut down (which caused some major hiccups with my bills that month), and all the money I'd made during my latest commission round (about $500) was withheld for 6 months (I still completed the commissions in the timeframe I promised, but it really sucked doing all that work and not getting compensated for it for so long qwq)

I made the switch to Stripe after all that bullshit and have had no issues in the two years I've been using it to take commission payments. It looks WAAAAAY more complicated than Paypal at first glance, but don't be intimidated! If you're running a very small business, you don't really need to mess with too much of the complicated stuff. (If I can figure it out, you can figure it out lol) One drawback is that Stripe does take a very small percentage of each transaction, but I would say it's worth it. (No idea what was going on with the tumblr tip problem that person was having, since I haven't messed with that feature 🤷‍♂️)

TL;DR:

Paypal: Pros- very common, simple to use, no fee Cons- Fucks you crosseyed and takes your money (which you may get back... maybe)

Stripe: Pros- super organized, all kinds of analytics, business oriented Cons- less common, small transaction fee, kind of intimidating to start using (but you get the hang of it pretty quick)

[incarnateirony]

“ He claims he has connections to the cast's assistant/handlers. In actuality, we do and it drives him fucking crazy, which is why he tries so hard to take us down. It's also the reason he goes after Superwiki so hard because Superwiki is actually working on the show.” the way 2po slipped “/handlers” in there… are those some of his supposedly super itk sources? con handlers? 💀

HANDLERSSSSSSSS HE'S STILL STUCK ON HIS CON BULLSHIT WHY DOES THIS MAN THINK HE CAN GET SUPER SEKRIT ITK SHIT FROM GODDAMN CONVENTIONS WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT OF A CONSUMER

what he's got is the justlurking4nows (was super salty when I had a video interview with mcnally correcting former misinfo she had spread about him), the superwikis (completely missed the loupgarou/rugaru point and gets screened drafts), and a bunch of idiots that don't understand how anything works.

jl4n has even recently locked their account now that people are asking about their involvement in this targeted harassment, doxxing, and everything else spnscripthunt enables. Good.

What this is, is the SAME salty ass coffee runners I spent the last 5 years running circles around still being shitheaded about it. The same bullheadedly wrong sandy cracked cunts as always, banded together to try to attack out the person they were NEVER able to root out, NEVER able to control, NEVER able to win in leak arguments about, and just think they can harass me out while shitting on the show casually.

We're not letting you guys infest the new fandom. We're not. I remember you, justlurking and folks. I REMEMBER you. I remember you're so bad at interpretation you doubled down insisting McNally was unavailable for S8 as an actor even when I had a video interview with him clarifying otherwise, because you DO NOT UNDERSTAND MEDIA LANGUAGE. Hey justlurking4now, remember when your buddy badjess of dumbfuck mary sue screeched at me midlate season 14 that Berens had no intent, WHILE HE SIGNED HIS CONTRACT FOR ONLY THAT REASON?

It's ALWAYS been you same losers, you just decided to bundle together into the server of Biggest Losers That Are Historically Wrong But Sometimes Collect Ok Info.

It's funny. There's only one assistant I've worked with. And to deny that is to pretend you can't see TAW in history. You guys are STILL fucking corny ass scrubs thinking from the wrong angles. What fucking TV suckers convinced they're queens. Go buy another con, maybe that'll help. Or maybe if you guys had listened to the authors years ago instead of deleting their perspectives for your biases--almost every mod in that server is culpable of that--maybe you wouldn't be lost as fuck rn.

gullible ass consumers convincing themselves they're someone and spending 5 years screeching wrongness from rooftops decide to make server of salty screamers that failed out for 5 years,more at 11.

You know why I don't need cons and M&Gs? Because I'm not a gullible consumer nor do I delude myself I can ever PAY for the things I do. That's you guys living in white rich people bizarro world. That's not how this works. Hell the only reason I put eyes on M&Gs was because I knew how bad 2po and the other scripthunt mods were lying and warping them so yeah, we put you guys on watch till you fucked up with the threats.

"he's mad cuz we talk to his handlers and assistants." AH! IRRELEVANT CON PEOPLE AND... [checks notes] well since it's NOT the one assistant, I imagine you mean the failboat dumbfuck that wrote the misha tweet and don't realize it. Or maybe are appealing to random Jared assistants as if that has relevance, since you DID decide to squeal to goddamn CLIF about [checks notes] me looking at roofs in hawaii to see if it's where misha had been the prev week.

Give it up. Your game's over. Fandom's catching on that you're nothing but a dedicated hate server. Of me, of Jensen, of The Winchesters, of the authors. Just bigger and bigger clowns, with bigger and bigger failtrains back that I've been fucking pulling the rug from under for years. You can't retaliate The Winchesters away. It's over, you lost, go home.

[erigold13261]

do you have a favorite pn character? a least favorite? a character you're indifferent to? a character you hate?

I'll split them by game. I'll put it in an easy to read way then add details in the read more.

Psychonauts 1: Fave:

Camper: Pheobe (and Kitty)

Counselor: Oleander

Patient: Boyd (and Bonita though she isn't really a patient)

Enemy: G-men (and Rainbow Squirts)

Least Fave:

Camper: Nils

Counselor: Sasha

Patient: Edgar

Enemy: Personal Demons

Indifferent: (kinda like least fave but

Camper: Most of them honestly.

Counselor: Sasha

Patient: Loboto (idk, I do like him but if I had to chose)

Enemy: Jasper

Hate: (I don't hate a lot of character)

Camper: None

Counselor: None

Patient: None

Enemy: El Odio/Bunny Demon (I hate them equally)

Psychonauts 2:

Fave:

Interns: Sam Boole (Lizzie is a close second though)

Agents: Hollis

Aquatos: Augustus

Psychic 7: Compton probably (I love them all so much, hard to choose an absolute fave)

Enemies: Maligula (girl boss)

Least Fave:

Interns: Would Raz count? Again, hard to choose. But either Raz or Morris

Agents: Sasha... again

Aquatos: Queepie (used to be Dion but people are changing my mind)

Psychic 7: Otto (only because we don't see his mind)

Enemies: Lili? Maybe

Indifferent:

Interns: Raz Agents: Milla Aquatos: Donatella (kinda) Psychic 7: None, I have opinions on all of them Enemies: Gristol

Hated: (I do not hate really anyone in this game at all)

Interns: Norma (in a love to hate kind of way) Agents: Don't really hate any of them Aquatos: Used to be Dion, not I like him Psychic 7: None Enemies: Enabler (kinda)

Psychonauts 1: I would say my favorite character is either Boyd Cooper, Bonita Soleil, or Kitty Bubai. I love Bonita and Kitty's designs a lot! And Boyd had one of the most fun and interesting world's/minds that it just boosts him up.

Oh! I also really like Phoebe Love because I can see her having a lot of potential for interesting stories. Especially with her fight against her pyrokinesis. She also just has a nice design.

I don't know really about least favorite (for either game), and I am pretty indifferent to most of the other characters of the first game. At least the Whispering Rock campers and honestly the counselors. I liked the asylum patients a lot though!

For hated character... I don't know if this counts since they are enemies and not characters, but I fucking hate that Bull in Edgar's mind! It is SO annoying. That or the goddamn confusion rats! Oooooh I hated those things so much. But for characters I did not really hate anyone. (also those demon meat bunnies were annoying but only because I was trying to collect all the figures the first time around and kept getting little Oly killed, whoops).

I think I thought of a least favorite character! It would be Sasha Nein. I'm sorry but he was just not that fun level-wise. Plus Milla, Ford, and Oleander were more fun. I loved the asylum patients and was okay with most of the campers, so yeah. I think Sasha is my least fave in the game. His theme song for his level though? That was a bop and the only one I remember other than Waterloo/Fred's mind because I just spent so much time in that level.

Psychonauts 2: My absolute fave is Sam Boole. Of course. This is Sam we are talking about! Though I also really love Lizzie just because of their design really. Their personality is also really good, but Sam's design and personality together beat Lizzie's great design and good personality.

Oh and you can't forget Bob and Helmut with their awesome designs! Or Maligula and her voice! Cassie also is lovely and has an awesome design. Literally all of the Psychic 7 are amazing and I love them all so much! Otto would be my only one I am not SUPER in love with and that's just because we don't get to see his mind, so technically least fave of the Psychic 7.

Least favorite? Hmm, probably Lili in all honesty. She does have some cool things going on with her, but I just never really cared all that much. I like a lot of fan interpretations of her though!

I actually don't think I'm all too indifferent to a lot of characters. I have a reaction to most of them in this game. Maybe Gristol. Like he is supposed to be the main reason for the story line, and I did like the reveal, but idk, I don't care for him. I guess technically Lili is also indifferent, though I do like fan her. Oh, also Truman. Like I literally forget he is a character all the time lol.

And I honestly don't think I HATE anyone in this game. Not even the enemies all that much. Yeah no, I looked through the list of characters and can't think of a single one I truly hate. MAYBE the enabler because it was annoying.

too young to die - bakugou introspection

[crossposted to ao3]

tags: bakugou introspection, angst, implied character death, reader beware

--

They don't tell you that thirty is too young to die.

They say he was taken from us too soon like you're a commodity, a toy that someone stole away before their time was up. They build statues and monuments and call you their hero like they own you, like they've always owned you. Like you were never anything but the bronze masterpiece unveiled in the middle of the park, shiny and hollow.

They don't tell you that twenty-four is too young to lose your hearing. They didn't tell you that at fifteen, either, when the world started sounding a little fuzzy, a little out of focus.

They tell you it's inevitable, that your choices have consequences and those consequences are just ones you'll have to learn to manage, cause you're a hero. All you are is a hero.

And they don't tell you, when you're twenty, that you might want to be more than that. They ask what more you could want, how much higher you could go - number one, they say, is as good as it gets.

You don't tell them you want to go lower. Drop down to the sidewalk and just fuckin' exist for once. They don't tell you that you can't do that, but you figure it out anyway.

They don't tell you that eighteen is too young to have your heart broken. They do, but not like this. Not when someone takes it with them and never comes back.

They say it's a tragedy, a shame, a loss like they knew him, like they loved him. Like their love wasn't as hollow as the statues you want to tear down with your bare hands. They never knew him, you did.

They don't tell you that seventeen is too young to die. They don't even know you did, but they'd never say it if they knew. It'd be a story of miracles and sacrifice and true heroes enabling the next generation. They don't tell you that you're too young to be put back together wrong.

They don't tell you that sixteen is too young to become a human shish kabob. They probably aren't fuckin' creative enough to come up with that kind of prophecy anyway.

They don't tell you to laugh about it, but you figure it out anyway, that it might kill you not to.

They don't tell you that sixteen is too young to know you're going to die. They'll say it's part of the job, to expect it, to get familiar with it. To rally against it like you haven't been fighting your whole damn life.

They tell you how to be a hero, how to be brave and selfless. They never tell you how to be terrified out of your goddamn mind. How to live with that fear until it consumes you. How to get up in the morning when it does. How to want to get up. How to want.

They don't tell you to want. You want anyway, and it kills you, in the end.

They don't tell you that fourteen is too young to see your life flash before your eyes.

They tell you that you were brave, that you held out against impossible odds. That you should be dead, but they don't say it like that.

They don't tell you what to do with the nightmares, the ones where you wake up gasping for breath. They don't tell you that you're too young to claw at your throat like you could tear it open, get the breath in through the gashes. They tell you bravery makes you a hero. They tell you that you'll make a great hero some day.

They don't tell you that heroes die. They don't tell you that heroes die young. They don't tell you that you will, too. They don't tell you that you don't want to die. That you wanted more. That you could've had more, but they took it. Ripped it from you too young.

They don't tell you that, though.

They tell you that's a hero's quirk.

Scumbags gotta bag (European Championships 2022 meme, the cameraman brought his expired swollen V-Card to work)

Its unfortunate, it just ruins the moment, the good vibes when you diminish the altruism & togetherness, their moment, to make it about you and your undying need to relegate these people to pieces of meat, live tv.

Really shitty thing to do, son. And I know it was a dude, Cameramen are usually men, Camera's are not light, very physical job, visual oriented.

And this video is getting circulated all over the place with "W camerman", "should get a raise", "he understood the assignment"

"A raise? Did they miss the part where he's on a running track for National sports and not on set for an Amateur doggystyle shoot?"

all the Yas Bro memes you'd expect from 13 year olds who don't know what a "bounced check" means.

Like holy shit, and these same little boys will be pearl clutching when hollywood hits em with woke shit or female characters are wearing too much clothing but when this happens they acting up and enabling grownass men dehumanizing people on:

NATIONAL TELEVISION

(That's the part that kills me, all these neophytes enabling juvenile activity from an ADULT on live tv and nobody mentions how this man really embarrassed these women on national television. I sure hope their kids weren't watching)

I don't wanna hear shit from people whining about something bein' woke, cause ya'll don't know how to keep each other in check.

Scumbags gotta bag. probably the closest he's ever gotten to the real deal. Or not, who knows, you'd be surprised how many pricks get ass and still act like this.

Keywords: They get sex, and STILL act like this #Parenthoodfail

Just ruins their moment when you diminish the comradery to make it about you- to go OUT of your way to objectify these people live, on live, on god.

Really shitty impulse control. Someone shoulda yanked his ass by the collar & dragged him off the damn track. Give him something to remember with the letter of termination on the way out the door.

Granted the shorts themselves the ladies are wearing are doing a good job on their own riding up Crack valley (seriously what the fuck, Olympics, hello?), but to almost shove the damn optic up her ass, you're doing too much.

That's Lil boy shit.

Rub it out before work if you have to, and do your goddamn job kiddos, and reel it in.

Dial it back, get it out, reel it in and go contribute to society like a competent adult person. This ain't the time to live out your Highschool fantasies, this is your job, act like it.

Personally, If I was admin, he'd be gone, his ass would be G.O.N.E

I'll crash course on camera-Ops and hold the damn camera myself but his ass would GOOOOONE. Period.

Ain't getting no warning for that shit, he didn't bump into her by accident, his ankle didn't give out, that was a goddamn calculated Anime angle. Amateur porn movements. What the fuck dude.

Go from checking rampant misandry to the other extreme of the spectrum to this shit.

Parenting was not supposed to be a spectator sport. See when you have the baby, you're supposed to actually RAISE the little nugget so that they can be trusted to make sound decisions; That's the very foolproof formula that somehow fools can't seem to master.

"No, Sanae..."

Haruto tightened his jaw, gazing out of the window of his apartment in Shinjuku. The world looked so small from all the way up here, and it was a view he was quite used to by now. Being called by Hanekoma out of the blue, however, was not something he was used to or expecting.

"Please," the voice on the other line breathed. "I know it's dangerous for you, but I can find a way to hide you."

"That is not why I don't want to come," Haruto said firmly. "I'm bad for you, Sanae, everyone knows that. I cannot take back what I did to you. Especially for something like dancing."

A simple request. Hanekoma wanted Abe to teach him how to dance. For absolutely anyone else, it would be a small and unimportant request. Something he would be happy to oblige with and do his best to pass on his wisdom and bring his partner some joy along the way. But Hanekoma was different. Hanekoma was his victim, a person that would always be living under the shadow of his abuse. Hanekoma was someone who seemed to have trouble moving on from the lies that Haruto had whispered into his ears and still craved the poison that had been bled into his veins.

But Haruto did not want to hurt him anymore.

"You're the only person I know that knows how to do it," Hanekoma said softly. "Please."

"That is not a good excuse and you know it," Haruto huffed back through he phone. "Sanae, you got out. Keep it that way, for your sake and your family's. I've done enough damage to you. You need to stay away from me."

"I thought you had gotten better, though." Hanekoma's voice sounded airy over the phone, like he wasn't breathing all the way. "I thought you were kinder now, more whole. I thought you grew."

Haruto drew in a deep breath and turned to walk back to his counter, "I have, but that doesn't take away what I've already done. I cannot harm you all by appearing in your universe again--"

"Then, what if I came to you?"

"Do not cut me off," Haruto growled through the phone, patience wearing thin. "Sanae, you have a job to do. You cannot leave your city unattended. You can't come here. There are hundreds of people in your universe. Just find someone else."

"There are a lot of people here, but..." Hanekoma sighed heavily. "No one wants to talk to strangers, you know. I'm a creepy old man. I'm too old for all of these people to give me the time of day. And my family is gone... I haven't seen any'a my kids in forever. I love solitude, boss. Don't get me wrong. I love sitting with myself and reflecting on myself and growing. But I haven't had a full conversation with another person in almost a year. I don't mind solitude, but this is isolation, and I can't fucking stand it. I'm so sick of being absolutely alone, of no one being willing to give me the time'a day without me twisting their arm into it."

"And how do you think getting me to teach you how to dance is going to fix anything?" Haruto muttered, moving again to easy the nervous energy in his body. "You're going to fall into your same old pits and you're going to hurt yourself. I'm not going to pretend for you. I'm not going to lie to you anymore. I don't love you the way you want me to. I do not want to be around you. I do not want to enable your self-destructive habits. You shouldn't be around me. Find someone else. Twist their goddamn arm if you have to. Be annoying. Someone is going to be pressured into giving you the time of day, and then they'll learn you're not so bad, but it'll be a hell of a lot better than spending even an ounce of time with me."

"I can't do that... I can't just barge in on other people's lives anymore. I get myself in trouble, get them in trouble. Sticking my nose in everyone's goddamn business is how I got here in the first place, and I'm not gonna do it anymore. I do my job. That's it. I don't fuck with anyone that doesn't come to me first."

Haruto drew in a deep breath and sighed heavily, "Then I don't know what to tell you, Sanae. Getting in other people's business used to be a strength of yours. That's how you met new people. If you can't do that anymore, then don't, but find some other way to get involved. Join an online forum or something, I don't fucking know. But stay away from me. For your own good."

There was a long beat of silence between them. The cogs turning in Hanekoma's head, Haruto thought. Where were his children? What happened to his support system?

...

Oh, right. He happened...

"But... I miss you..." Hanekoma whispered. "I miss you..."

"Move on, Sanae..."

Haruto didn't give him a chance to respond before he hung up, collapsing into the armchair in his sitting area. It was so hard looking at the damage he'd caused, but he was determined not to cause any more. He didn't care if Hanekoma came to him on his knees begging for him to come back, he would never do it. He was determined to separate his life from his old universe, to carry on and do something better, help others who needed it. Be a good Producer.

He just hoped that Hanekoma could also move on and get his life together one day.
