i think i am right

I wanna know who your favorite vinsmoke sibling is so bad actually please tell me 👀✨

My friend and my brother laughed at me when I told them my favorite Vinsmoke is Niji, and I genuinely was embarrassed that day because I didn't really know much about him at the time (I think I had only watched a few eps of WCI) and it's pretty clear in the show that he's, uh, the worst of the Vinsmokes. And by "the worst" I mean: The one who's portrayed as the worst because he's the most active one when it comes to abuse and supremacism within the family line. Unlike Ichiji (who's more serious) and Yonji (who's more playful, somehow) Niji is the one who has to actually fight for a role in his family and that's why I think he's so fucking annoying all the damn time. I hate him. I love him. I want to hug him. But also I wouldn't mind punching him very, very hard. I have mixed feelings, but yeah, Niji is my favorite Vinsmoke. And you haven't asked why, but I feel the need to do some sort of mini argument about this because I am a very resentful person and I want to show my friend and my brother that Niji is actually a very interesting character!! And my fiancé thinks I just like him because he's hot, and she's right but only like a 20%. Maybe 40%.

I will try to put my thoughts into words, but it's pretty difficult because I have a lot of things to say about this blue evil gremlin.

I like Niji the most because I think he is, between the three brothers, the one who shows feelings and ambitions outside their emotionless selves the most. I know they technically are the same, but I don't think so (btw, please assume I'm not including Reiju in this text because she's canonically different from them and I'm just referring to the brothers).

As I mentioned before, I think Niji is the one brother who is the most annoying and evil because he feels the need to stand out. Ichiji is serious, and calculative and has a secure place in the family. He is the number one, even if Reiju is the oldest (I would like to talk more about how Reiju, being a woman, even if she's the oldest, she's the number 0. Because she is the oldest but she's a woman, so she obviously doesn't and would not be able to wear the number 1 like a man would. She is the oldest and yet, she has less significance in the family line than Ichiji. But, yeah, this is something that has nothing to do with Niji, sorry). Ichiji, like all of his siblings, wants recognition from his father, but he doesn't have to try as hard as the others to be impressive because he is, after all, the oldest. The typical "older sibling in an abusive household who has to deal with all the bullshit to protect their siblings"? That's something Reiju took over. That's Reiju's responsibility as the oldest and the woman. Ichiji literally doesn't have to do anything besides leading the team and being the evil, emotionless machine his father created. That does not mean that I don't think he could be able to develop more feelings, because I think he could and I love the concept of him being the first one to protest against Judge's behavior, but you get me. When you're the oldest brother with an even older sister, your responsibilities are pretty limited. So he doesn't have to be anything but there and himself.

Yonji, on the other hand... He is the youngest. Even younger than Sanji. He doesn't have to try, because Niji and Sanji should be the ones to do so. Little siblings are not expected to do much besides existing because irl parents are usually tired of raising children and they end up either getting neglected or seen as decoration. As a little sibling myself I can confirm that these things affect really badly to your brain growing up, but I got a more Sanji treatment so I can't speak for Yonji here. The thing I can say, though, is that in comparison to Niji, Yonji is just there. He's silly and goofy. He's funny. He's dumb. He has the excuse of being the little one to act that way. Getting lost eating or doing whatever. Even the fact that his powers are more physically focused instead of power/intelligence centered shows that he can just punch away his issues. He's the gym bro of the siblings. Don't expect much from him. <- Thing that's often said about little siblings, btw, and affects real fucking badly in early teenage years. The fact that he's portrayed like that is so on point tbh but after all, they don't have high expectations for him, so little to no effort is everything he does.

Then there's Niji, of course. My favorite. Love him. Hate him. Whatever. Niji is the middle child. And God, do I have to say things about middle siblings.

The thing about Niji is that he actually has to try and make a name for himself in the family because otherwise he'll probably get forgotten. I often wonder if he had that fear of becoming the next Sanji once he "died" (he's the only one genuinely asking if Sanji died on them before Yonji and Ichiji say they don't care) because his role is not as noticeable as the others. Reiju is the woman, Ichiji is the successor, Sanji is the weakling getting bullied (being technically one of the little siblings but still being in a limbo of middle/youngest because the little one is Yonji), and Yonji is the little one. Then... What's Niji?

Niji needs Sanji way more than he's willing to admit, and I love that. I absolutely love how he's written because he constantly shows that he needs Sanji, through both words and actions. He needs him because without Sanji's existence -without Niji being his bully- Niji is nothing but number 2. And there's nothing more frustrating than being the number two when it comes to family hierarchy. Not going to mention every little thing he does, but as I said, I love how well-written he is. He's the sibling Oda uses the most to show the abuse Sanji went through, but that's only because Niji is the only one who needs to do that. Niji is the one to talk to Sanji first, all the damn time. He gets angry when Sanji doesn't respond. He gets angry because Sanji can't be bullied anymore. He gets angry out of fear, in my opinion, because if the weakling can't get abused anymore, then he's not worth anything. If Sanji isn't the third, the second one is left alone. 2 can't fight 1 because 1 has the protection of starting the line. And 2 can't fight 4 because there's a missing link that keeps 2 from 4. So Niji is mad at Sanji because Sanji isn't the same weak crybaby he used to be, and he can't use him anymore to be secure and safe.

That's fucking horrifying when it comes to family hierarchy.

I like Niji because, despite being an asshole, he has reasons to be like that. First of all, because his father literally made him this way. But also, the little feelings he has (selfish emotions, yes, evil. But they're feelings, anyway. Urges. He's supposed to be emotionless and yet he knows how Sanji feels enough to use that to his advantage) are used as a way to feel superior and safe because he feels inferior. I think he's the one showing more emotions out of the three, even if those emotions aren't healthy or good and it's just him being angry all the time. That means that if he has urges and needs like that, even if he doesn't fear his own death, he could end up developing more and more empathy. His type of empathy comes from a place of fear. He feels what Sanji feels. And it's not that he doesn't care (I mean, I am aware that he technically doesn't, but let me dream) but it's just convenient for him not to care and keep bullying him to secure his place in the family.

Also pointing out that I like Niji because, being the one who says he hates Sanji the most, he's the one to protect him with his own body when that scene of the siblings helping Sanji escape happens. The others only clear the way, Niji stays with him. There's a really cool post about this on Niji's tag somewhere!!! I personally think he does this because, as that post said: Niji keeps seeing Sanji as weak, instead of believing in him enough to just clear the way. He protects him because he thinks he can't protect himself. Because he's weak.

And yes, it might sound offensive and emotionless and it doesn't make Niji a better person. But it makes him an older brother. Believing in Sanji would be great, but thinking that he's weak and needs protection after years of projecting on him only shows that the weak one is Niji. That he wants and is willing to protect his brother, too. If he didn't care about his well-being he would've just cleared the way for him, not caring about what could've happened to Sanji. But he goes all the way to help him out and protect him longer than the others did. Idk. I find that a very beautiful way of ending their relationship.

All of this being said, I have to be honest with you: When I said I liked Niji for the first time I only did it because people around me kept saying he was the worst one and it bothered me because I found his design pretty fucking cool. And tbh when he started being an actual character? I loved him even more. Because during WCI he's a fucking asshole but the way he acts towards Sanji is wanting to get a response from him, and I just find that so curious and complex... Like, if he just wanted to be evil he'd be more the Doflamingo type. But Niji looks for a response in Sanji's eyes. He wants to feel powerful because he knows he isn't.

And also, well, he's very cute and I like his hair a lot and he makes me furious sometimes which is great because if a character doesn't make you want to punch him at one point, is he really a good character? Look at him! He deserves to get slapped in the face. But also, I would love to kiss him afterward. What's that Olivia Rodrigo lyric? Ah, yes: "I wanna break his heart, then be the one to stitch it up. Wanna kiss his face with an uppercut." That's how I feel about him.

I really hope it's obvious, with all of this, that "Succession" is one of my favorite TV Shows, because I could go on and on and on (and nobody would listen but idc) about how the Vinsmokes are just the Roy family. Both One Piece and Succession deal with family in which hierarchy is crucial in a very specific and accurate way. It makes me sick. I love it.

Anyway, have some pics of my blue idiot:

I want to hit him in the head with a baseball bat.

Ghost's Dead Fiance

Description: There were two things that Soap knew: He was in love with Ghost and Ghost was still in love with his dead fiance, Roach.

Warnings: Misunderstandings (very angsty trust me guys), sadness everywhere, Roach is definitely dead guys, sorry he's just gone :(

Note: Roach fans I am begging you not to block me and to actually read this I stg I am one of you believe that I am not leading you astray with this

Soap had worked with Simon "Ghost" Riley for a little over two years now. Two years of getting to know the man and all of his little intricacies. Two years of falling in love.

He'd believed the other man was a hard-ass when they first met, always so focused and serious, even on their down time. Then he'd learned. He'd started to see the truth and draw more and more of Ghost personality out into the light. The man was tough, but he also had an affinity for silly little jokes Soap would have heard from his dad when he was younger.

Ghost was serious, but he was also self-confident and playful. He would be more than willing to drop a smug comment about how good he was or make some dry comment after Shepherd had spoken, usually a comment that would get Soap in trouble because he'd be laughing too hard.

Soap liked to think that over the two years of working with Ghost, he'd gotten to really know the man. He'd learned the big things, like Ghost's humor and how his voice sounded when he was upset by something, it would always break somewhere toward the end of his sentence. He'd learned the little things too, like how Ghost liked his coffee and the fact that he would only eat eggs if they were scrambled.

He hadn't realized until he'd been alone in the streets of Las Almas, sure he was going to die by himself, with no one there. He hadn't realized until then that he loved Ghost. He'd tried the man over the radio at first, calling for him several times. No answer came through and a thick pooling of dread formed in his throat. He'd collapsed to the ground soon after, his heart heavy and his mind telling him to just give up.

Then he'd heard it, Ghost's voice on the line, calling for him with concern. His heart had given a large burst of affection, warmth filling him despite the cold and wet atmosphere around him. Ghost was alive, he was alive and he was waiting for Soap. He was giving Soap comfort in the form of his stupid little jokes and quips. Soap realized when he was in the cafe just how much he seemed to react to the other man. He realized with startling clarity that somewhere along the line of annoying the shit out of the man and befriending him, he'd managed to fall for him.

That realization should have been lovely for him. It should have made him feel warm all over when he came to that conclusion. He was in love with Ghost, and he'd always been taught that love was a good thing. But he knew Ghost. He'd learned practically everything about the man. Which meant he also knew that Ghost was still stuck, was still in love with someone else. Someone long dead.

Soap had first learned about Roach in the locker room after a mission. They'd been cleaning up and Ghost had stripped his shirt off, leaving nothing but his identification disk on. Soap had noticed then the shiny pair of dog tags that sat next to Ghost's disk.

He hadn't said anything about them at the time. It wasn't until a few weeks later when he saw them again that he asked. He could see them much closer this time, they'd fallen out of Ghost's shirt when he'd leaned across him to grab something. Soap had caught the glinting of the silver and the flash of a name.

"Who's Roach?"

He saw Ghost tense. He'd watched the other man quickly tuck the tags back under his shirt and he'd been surprised when his LT had replied with a rather harsh, "Mind your own, MacTavish." He knew immediately that whoever Roach was, he was a sore subject for Ghost.

He'd done some quick research on the tags then. With identification disks, they stayed with the soldier no matter what, but as he learned quickly, that wasn't the same with dog tags. He'd felt horror creep up his throat as he read on. If a soldier died, one of his tags stayed with him and the other went with his loved ones. Ghost only had one tag with him. Whoever Gary "Roach" Sanderson was, he was dead and he was clearly very important to Ghost.

He hadn't asked about Roach since then, but he'd picked up enough. As Ghost grew more comfortable with him, the man would occasionally mention Roach, usually with one of his hands gripping that dog tag and a bittersweet look on his face. Soap had seen people grieve before. He knew the process. He knew that Ghost was still grieving.

That became especially clear to him when he learned exactly who Roach had been to his LT.

They were sitting together at a bar, sipping whiskey with Price and Gaz, chatting idly. Soap had mentioned something about home, about the nature in Scotland. Ghost had given a low chuckle at his animated descriptions before commenting, "My fiance, Roach, wanted to visit Scotland at one point. Never quite got around to it."

Soap had seen the way that Ghost gripped his drink tighter and brought it up to his mouth, taking a quick swig of it. Likely to wash down the wave of emotions that had been drawn from him. Soap felt terrible for the man, his heart aching for the loss he felt. But he also recognized fully that Ghost was still in love with Roach.

He'd seen the way Ghost's eyes had lit up, he'd heard the softness in his voice, he'd seen the tell tale signs that the man was giving a soft sort of smile under his mask. He knew. He'd seen it. He knew that Ghost was still in love with his dead fiance. The man had clearly never let himself fully grieve, and the fact that he would occasionally speak about Roach as though he were still alive only told Soap that for certain. The fact that he'd accidentally called Soap the other man's name on several occasions, with an immediate apology afterward, also made it clear that the man was still grieving.

So, he was in love with Ghost but Ghost was still in love with a dead man. He couldn't offer much in the way of helping Ghost to grieve, but he could do what he could to protect him. If that meant fighting off people who tried to get to his LT by pretending to be a dead man, than Soap would do it.

"Hey, Soap!" Soap stopped from where he'd been walking to meet with Price to discuss his and Ghost's next mission. He recognized the man who called out to him, he worked in the visitors center. That was why it surprised Soap so much when the other man asked, "Have you seen Ghost?"

Soap wrinkled his brows, "I think LT is in his office." The man had given him a nod and moved to go past him, Soap stopped him with a hand around his arm, "Why do you ask?"

The other man shrugged him off, "He has a visitor, guy said he was Ghost's fiance."

Soap felt himself freeze as he watched the other man walk away from him, headed toward Ghost's office. Something was clearly wrong. Ghost's fiance, Roach, he was dead. That meant that whoever was outside claiming to be him, was someone who was actually here to get to Ghost somehow. Potentially there to hurt him. Soap wasn't going to let them get the chance.

With that thought in mind, he turned quickly marching his way toward the visitors center with anger burning in his chest. How dare someone try to use Ghost's grief to get to him? How dare someone pretend to be a dead man, a dead man who deserved to rest.

He spotted the man as soon as he walked into the visitors center, he knew it had to be him because he was the only other person in the room. He was a shorter man with messy hair and soft brown eyes and if Soap wasn't so pissed that this man was impersonating his friend and crushes dead partner, he would have noted how good looking the man was.

As it stood, he marched toward the man, calling, "Hey, you Ghost's fiance?"

The other man turned to him, startled. Soap watched as his eyebrows furrowed together, confusion and a bit of trepidation on his face. Soap expected that, after all, he hadn't sounded too nice when he asked. "Um, yes?" The other man shifted on his feet, "Sorry, who are you?"

"I'm Soap," he went to continue, only for the other man to light up a bit, a small smile on his face as he stepped forward and cut in.

"Oh! Hi, it's so nice to finally meet you! Ghost has told me about you," He gave the man a soft smile and Soap found his fists clenching at his sides as the man added, "I'm Roach!"

Soap glared at him, "I don't know what game you're playing at," the surprise on the other man's face returned, "But you aren't Roach."

The man shook his head slowly, his mouth falling open slightly as he responded, "I'm sorry? I am Roach, I'm Ghost's fiance. He has told you about me, right?"

"Roach is dead," Soap bit out, "So I don't know what you're trying to do, but you should stop. I'm not letting anyone fuck with Ghost like this, it's just cruel."

The other man stared at him blankly, his eyes wide and his mouth dropped open a bit. He seemed genuinely shocked by Soap's words, as though he hadn't known that Roach was dead. Soap felt a little smug at catching the other man out. "Simon," the man stuttered after a moment, "Did he tell you I was dead?"

Soap felt anger burn through him again, was this guy really going to keep trying it? "Listen," Soap started with annoyance tinting his words, "You need to-"

"Roach?" Soap froze, as Ghost's confused voice rang out around the room. He turned just a bit, just enough that he could see Ghost's furrowed brows as he stared at the two men in front of him. "Soap? What are you doing here?"

The man behind him pushed forward, his face fixed into something rough as he asked, "Simon, did you tell your team that I was dead?!"

Ghost seemed taken aback by the question, his eyes widening as he shook his head, "No? Of course not, why would I do that?"

Soap turned to the man next to him wildly then, "Wait you're actually Roach? You were telling the truth?"

The man, Roach apparently, nodded to him rapidly, "Of course I was telling the truth! Why did you think I was dead?"

"You thought Roach was dead?" Both of the men's attention turned fully to Soap and he found himself flushing red, cool embarrassment running through his system.

He stuttered for a moment, trying to explain himself, "Ghost only wears one of your dog tags and that usually means the person is dead, I looked it up! And," he wheeled around to point at Ghost, "You kept talking about him like he was dead! All of the 'Roach wanted to go to Scotland, never got around to it' type of stuff didn't help me!"

"Roach did want to go to Scotland," Ghost stressed, stepping closer to him, "He just hasn't mentioned it in a while which is why I said 'wanted,' not because he was dead!"

"I still want to go to Scotland!"

Soap turned to Roach with wide eyes. He'd potentially just made the worst first impression that he ever could with someone. "I am so sorry! I really thought you were dead!"

A moment passed where Roach just stared at him before, to his surprise, the man gave a small laugh. He covered his mouth with his hand to try and hide it, but Soap could still see the mirth in his eyes and he flushed red again. "It's okay," he gave another laugh, "I'm actually kind pleased to know that you were ready to punch someone out for impersonating dead me." He gave another laugh, the sound of it flowing through Soap and warming him considerably.

Ghost made his way over to the two fully, rolling his eyes as he did, "Next time you think someone is impersonating one of my dead loved ones, MacTavish, just let me handle it." Soap watched him wrap an arm around Roach, tugging him closer. He watched the man tug his mask up and lean down to connect his lips to Roach's, a small smile on his face as he did. Soap watched them, his chest panging oddly at the sight.

"Right," he muttered out lowly, "Sorry."

"Hey," Roach pulled away from Ghost suddenly, beaming at Soap with a bright grin, "I'm taking Ghost out for lunch later, why don't you come with us? Could get to know the not dead version of me."

Soap felt warm at the offer, something in him pulling pleasantly at the idea of spending some time with not only Ghost, but Roach as well. "I wouldn't want to intrude," he spoke carefully.

Roach was quick to wave him off, "You wouldn't be intruding, silly. I invited you! Come with us?"

Soap stared at him for a moment, mapping out the lines of his face and just how attractive Ghost's fiance (not dead) really was. Finally he gave a nod, feeling hot all over as he responded, "Okay, yeah. Sure."

Roach gave him another one of those beaming grins and he could have sworn he felt his heart stutter over in his chest. "Excellent! Meet us by the parking lot in an hour, yeah?"

Soap gave a simple nod to the two men before watching them retreat further into the base, Ghost's arm still wrapped around Roach as they walked. Soap could see Roach talking animatedly to Ghost from where he stood.

Soap realized that the two things that had been almost fact to him for the past several months needed to be revised. He was in love with Ghost and Ghost was still in love with his dead fiance, Roach. Those weren't true anymore.

Soap knew better now. He knew the truth. Soap knew three things: he was in love with Ghost, Ghost's fiance was alive and unbelievably attractive, and he was absolutely whipped for two men who were dating one another. He thought he might add a fourth thing to that list as well: he was absolutely fucked.

NEVER EVER DOUBT ME AGAIN I WOULD NEVER WRITE DEAD ROACH ARE YOU GUYS CRAZY???????

FUCK THE ROACH IS GHOST'S DEAD FIANCE TROPE, ITS BEEN DONE, ITS DEAD, I'M KILLING IT GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE

RAHHHH SOAP/GHOST/ROACH FOREVER RAHHHH HIMBO SOAP RIGHTS RAHHHHH

[vague-mintyboy]

Warning: no hate to op it just literally made me spiral about challengers.

I would love to talk about the tags

Bc I know it’s a joke but it kinda encapsulates my feelings about the reception of this movie.

Like I thought while watching Challengers that it was playing on the 80s trope of a women getting in the way of a homoerotic relationship bc Hollywood didn’t like the gays. But, the fact that it never actually was brave enough to act on the subtext makes it just another example of the trope, even if it is aware of it. Which is what this tag made me spiral about. Exactly— they didn’t even show anything. The kiss was literally unintentional which is good build up but like…that was it. It felt like an empty scene that doesn’t have any tangible repercussions. Like the kiss should have had a ripple effect across the film but nah. It’s just…left there.

I liked the movie. Everyone was hot, the camera work is genuinely jaw dropping, and I love messy, complex character studies (don’t get me started on ppl who exclusively hate on Art I stg). But it isn’t revolutionary for queer rep. It isn’t even good polyamory rep!! I’ve seen so many takes being like “finally a film where a love triangle ends up in the girl getting both guys”. NO. SHE CHEATS ON HER HUSBAND. I love when characters devolve and are complex, but no. She isn’t a girlboss with two boyfriends. Like it just straight up isn’t polyamory without communication. It isn’t even attempted polyamory. It’s just cheating. Which, again, the movie isn’t claiming it isn’t. I just hate the reception of it. Ugh.

But that’s the thing. You could cut Art and Patrick’s kiss and the own frame of bisexual tinder and nothing would change. That isn’t good queer rep. And I’m not saying to have good gay rep there needs to be happy endings or that you can’t have subtext, but goddamnit gay subtext to just make your movie edgy is so fkn 2010s. It did feel like the movie didn’t genuinely want to show a friendship that slowly becomes tainted by mutual pining and internalized homophobia. It just wants to use queerness as a garnish to comment on humanity or whatever. Which is not new. Fucking Gatsby did this.

The difference between real rep and not is resolution. Resolving the queerness doesn’t need to be positive or negative or whatever— it needs to be addressed. It just feels so dated to leave it to tumblr to directly call it gay.

I’m just tired of queerness being used as a motif vs a human fucking experience. It isn’t just decoration for your indie film it’s an entire identity and culture.

And I liked the movie!!! I genuinely did. I just don’t think it’s right to let Hollywood think that is good queer rep.

We're not talking about tennis. What the fuck else do I have to talk to you about?

Nah sonic final boss music got me feeling like super sonic/team super sonic and super shadow could beat the shit out of the affini

I mean da faq they gunna do against chaos control, both sonic and shadow can do it (see sonic 06) and sonic already killed a fucking giant spaceship oh AND A BEING WHO LITERALLY EATED TIME and Sonic Robot Cthulu God (metal overlord)

Oh i almost forgot: chaos god too (Perfect Chaos) speaking of all of those bosses cpuld probably defeat the affini too (except maybe The End) i mean Neo Metal: shapeshift to hide as an affini, then Assimilate their ship into your form as metal overlord, Time Eater Eated time, need i say more (and is also mostly clockwork and phantasm so theres not really programming to corrupt) and giant Antideluvian Chaos God who literally created the term 'antideluvian' and is made purely of water: unless they have a death star, they aint killing perfect Chaos

Im sorry Open yoyr heart got stuck in my head and it got me thinkin

No inwont tag this bc this was simply me being autistic and i will be heavily embarrassed if anyone actually finds and reads this, oh and no tags means not even "my post" tags

I swear if you read this far just kill me stg (this is a joke) but hey umm that means your in the less than 1% who like me ranting for no reason interesting so umm yeah, havent had that happen, mostly due to people irl not liking me too much and not having a way to deal with my depression, hey you know what since you did heres a secret: i tried to off myself once, i failed tho uhh and my brains favorite dissociation technique is being so hyperaware of the situation it hurts, ive only dissociated properly once and that was when i made popcorn and just wanted some for myself but mother wanted some and i was already depressed and i didnt wanna go througb the effort of using thebpopcorn machine so i wanted to make it on the stove but because mother said the stove popcorn was gross and i HAD to make it i had to use the popcorn machine and i just sorta... broke like everything went numb and i couldnt feel amd everything felt so distant the worst part was i had a "therapist" (doctors were saying i hate eating when that was a lie so they had me in this therapy to try to get me tl eat more or something but she, i dont think gave a shit bc she was apparently getting paid minimum wage) and when i told her abojt it, mind you last time i said ibwas read a philosophy book, i told her yeah the other day nothing felt real, and she responded with, ah you doing some more philosophy again nice, and yeah so fuck that uhh no one will ever read this lmfao soo yeah uhh cheers peoples in my head

8 for the writers ask

8. Have any comments/tags/responses on a fic of yours ever made you laugh, cry, or both?

I haven’t posted anything for the public eye since hs or before and they didn’t get comments since my first writing webbed site community (y’all know who you are). Some of them on there, probably.

Howeverrrr, you, oh friend, damn well know your line notes and comments send me to the fucking MOON. “God forbid women do anything?” While the woman in question is Actively trying to murder our protagonist?? Moon. I was cackling. “Diplomatic doormat” “literally just be a normal person Tiernan I stg” top tier for giggles. Invaluable. The running interpretive/break dancing joke? Doesn’t kill me like the one offs but makes me smirk when it pops up again. I eagerly await your eyes on this draft of the big boy.

the incomparable @headfirrstforhalos tagged me to share the last four albums i listened to. it’s kind of cheating, since i’ve just been listening to HIM almost nonstop, but for the sake of variety, i chose one album per artist (or whatever the fuck the tony hawk pro skater 3 ost can be classified as.) tagging??? uh idk, who’s been tagged so!!! @xnowimnothing, @this-yearsmodel, @throwupsparkles, @queenoffakers, @clusterhugmp3, and whoever else wants to do this, surely yours wont be as shameful as mine :)

OOC: So I know Lex mentioned this in the server so it may be a reminder for some of you, but, anything I reply to in the coming days with Zander is set before November 6th. He’s with Leo away for the weekend, and in turn, isn’t at Luxor until they return.

2023 Year End Fic Round-Up

Thank you @stellanslashgeode for the tag!! I know i havent written much this year but this looks fun so imma fill it out!

Words I've written (published or not): alright so i added it and i only got 9,125 but im more of an artist than a writer so there's my defense-

Smut Scenes Written: just oNE self indulgent thing i wrote in docs, didnt bother to upload since 1, its not even finished and 2, it was 3am and its kinda um. something.

New things I tried: This year i wrote my first modern au and actually published a fic that i plan on writing multiple chapters for! which i SWEAR i will get to eventually- a lot of family stuff happened.

Fic I spend the Most Time On: oH boy. DEFINITELY the barrissoka fabric store au i started writing called "Me and you and awkward silence..." i started that back in MARCH of 2023. and that was just the first chapter!! ok i procrastinate a LOT i know. but like- i didn't publish that chapter until october! not my proudest moment i know. but we good.

Fic I spend the Least Time On: LMAO since i only wrote two damn fics i'll probably say my other one called "Love you anyways (even if you hate tea). that one had me squealing and slamming my head against my desk writing cuz it was SO damn sweet. i stg these two (barrissoka) make me literally want to tear my skin off/pos

Favorite Thing I Wrote: "Love you anyways (even if you hate tea). i will say it again, SO DAMN SWEET. like TOOTH ROTTING level man. (DEFINITELY super self indulgent but like) what can i say.

Favorite Thing I Read: oml. 100% "And if we Fell Together" by @kaaragen that fic got me through that school year i found it in and i will forever cherish it. had me hyperfixating for WEEKS ISTG not even joking. SO well written, well planned out, everything tied together perfectly like M. so eatable fr./pos

Writing Goals for Next Year: get more chapters out for "Me and you and awkward silence..." i NEED to write more of that. perhaps even more small barrissoka fics? expect more self indulgence... maybe.

2023 Year-End Fic Round Up

Thanks @rotschopf-thedrow for the tag!

Words written (published or not, WIPs totally count too!):  Published has hit 84,800. I have 4 major WIPS with about 18K words among them. Then there’s the short stuff that I haven’t been as focused on this year for some reason.

Smut scenes written (if applicable): 1, but I suspect it’s too boring to bother publishing.

New things I tried: Technically, my collaboration with @slowdissolve started in 2022, but it was late December, and most of the work happened in 2023, so it counts.

Fic I spent the most time on: Red Jade, hands down. This one-shot joke has turned into an amazing experience working with Slowdissolve. It’s now twice the length of my other long stories, and I think we’re at about 60% done.

Fic I spent the least time on: I Just Wanted You. Written at the end of a very bad, terrible, no-good day.

Favourite thing I wrote: Other than Red Jade? Probably First Day Jitters because I was actually happy with what could be a really wrenching idea if I go with it.

Favourite thing I read: Nope. This, I cannot do. There’s the Hands that Heal series. There’s @wishingforatypewriter’s Linzolt stories. There’s @orangepanic Irohsami oeuvre. There’s Slowdissolve’s Discipline of the Mind. And there's so much more - and this is only in the ATLA/LOK fandom.

Writing goals for next year:

Bring Red Jade to a satisfying conclusion.

Accomplish Angstpril.

Start on a new Kyalin project with @slowdissolve.

Y'all jump on in and add! @yellowsalt3 @linnorabeifong @itsmoonpeaches @chocomd @slowdissolve @master-sass-blast @i-put-the-ass-into-sass @frogblast-the-ventcore

And if I didn't name you, that's just Tumblr's fault. Tell us what your 2023 was like!

If I do not smoke something or drink something soon I am going to off myself

[ka-tamingoftheshrew-ba]

DC, I’m begging you:

- Give us a Batfam animated series that follows them all in their day and night lives. Can it be ‘gritty’ or whatever words you like to use to describe those New Jersey bat/bird furries while fighting crime.

- But also just give us Dick driving Damian to school and Jason insisting he tags along just to embarrass the kid at drop off/pick up.

-Give us Tim with the biggest fucking bags under his eyes deadpanning while Dick teaches Damian how to hang from the chandelier while Alfred is hitting them with a fucking feather duster trying to get them down.

-Give me Jason and Cass talking about classic lit completely unfazed while Damian chases Tim around the manor with his katanas.

-Give me Steph threatening to eat Batcow when Damian makes fun of her.

-Give me Bruce getting scolded by everyone when he puts his feet up on the coffee table despite it being “my own damn house.”

-Give me Alfred having the week off and Bruce goes shopping and Duke decides to tag alone because he is convinced Bruce is going to make a fool of himself after they had this exact conversation:

- Give me Babs, Steph, Kate and Cass having a girls night and all the brothers get jealous and try to sabotage it but the girls are always one step ahead and by the end of it they invite everyone in to hang with them. Dick and Jason painting each others nails the most garish colors they can find, Damian eating the cucumbers off of Tim’s eyes just to piss him off, and Babs, Steph, Cass, and Kate immediately regretting inviting them to join. Duke was invited from the get go to hang with them but declined to go patrol because “the goons are less crazy than y’all I stg.”

- Give me a halloween special where Dick enters a nightwing costume contest and comes in 2nd place because “while your costume is pretty spot on, you just don’t have nightwing’s ass.” He was fine with this until he finds out the winner was Jason and has an identity crisis over whether or not he has the best ass in the family. Jason proudly puts his little trophy on the mantle for Dick to see every time he comes to the manor.

- Give me Tim getting angry at Jason and every time Jason tries to talk to him he pretends Jason is dead again. “God, it’s like I can still hear his voice.” “Dickhead, tell Tim to stop. I’m the only Robin who can make dead jokes.” “I died too, Jay.” “Shut up, Dick. You died for like 2 minutes before Luther revived you and then lied to us about being dead.” “...” “Todd, you buffoon, I died too.” “Fuck off, demon.”

- For the love god, give me an episode where they all have to go to a gala and all the shenanigans that ensue while they’re there and Bruce just looks utterly exhausted.

- Jason Todd is still technically ‘dead’ but decides to go to the gala anyways and at one point Dick pulls him to the dance floor as a joke but the media has a fucking field day thinking Dick has this mysterious boyfriend and Bruce has to pull some press conference bullshit where they’re like “.... Dick isn’t dating that man. It would be weird considering that’s my dead son Jason.” And Jason, instead of taking any of the questions or telling the doctored story of why he isn’t dead, just adds on “Yeah, why would I date Dickface? Have you seen him? He’s a man whore, I need someone loyal. And preferably not related.”

- Give me Dick keeping a scrapbook of all the patrols him and Damian went on where there are pictures of Damian labeled things like “Robin’s first joker venom ❤️” and it’s Damian glaring under a ventilator mask or whatever looking eerily like Bruce.

- Give me a beach episode where they never actually get to the beach because this whole family, for being known for being prepared for anything and everything, apparently does not know how to pack for free time. Bruce tries to bring the shark repellant and Cass just face palms while wearing the widest brimmed sun hat known to man.

- Give Steph and Dick interrogating potential perps vis a vis this scene in B99

- Give me an episode where Bruce is on patrol being a little too rough and gruesome (even for him) and pushing everyone away and it takes the entire family to pull him off of someone who they assumed did something particularly nefarious but when they finally pull him back they see it’s a petty thief clutching a string of pearls and they all decide to bench Bruce. They all force Bruce to go home for the night and stay with him and watch a movie. Bruce puts on The Mask of Zorro and when all the kids look uneasy, he goes on to say “This is the last happy memory I had with them... ___ years ago today.” And it all comes crashing down on them why he was so adamant on the jewelry thief with the pearls today of all days.

- Honestly this is just my tl;dr way of saying “DC, let me be in the writing room for an animated series surrounding the Batfam”

A/n; sooo i didn’t think i’d even post this but here we are. Not proofread!

Wanna be tagged? Click here for HP characters and click this for my regular taglist!

••••••••••••

Your boots landed with a thud onto the oak Regulus swinging in behind you with another thud you looked around at the people on the boat. “Where’s the Captain?” You asked in a raised voice “why’re you here?” A voice asked, you looked seeing a taller man, he had scars across his face his hair messy a soft brown color. “Okay, I asked first.” You said and Regulus tugged on your arm. “Rems? That you?” He asked and you sighed. “You know him!” You smacked the back of his head.

“Ow!” He grabbed the back of his head “oh he knows us better then he thinks” the voice sounded and you watched Reggie visibly tense at the sound. He slowly turned to look behind the you and up at the wheel of the boat. “Brother!” Reggie sounded and your eyes grew wide “you have a fucking brother?” You asked and Reggie shrugged urging you to hit the back of his head again “aye!” He yelled sighing as he rubbed the back of his head again.

“Why are you here Regulus?” He asked stepped down the stairs “we came to make a truce” He said and Sirius laughed “really now?, who’s your friend” he asked nodding towards you “this is y/n” you nodded at him. “Well this was quiet dumb for you to come alone” Sirius pulled his sword and swung at your roped tying to your boat cutting it loose. The pair of you shrugged “we can swim”’you said and Regulus shook his head “you can” you rolled your eyes “stg why did my dad take you aboard?” You slapped the back of his head again.

“Look, Mr Captain sir whatever, we didn’t come here to make problems, my dad wants to call a truce between your boat and his.” Sirius crossed his arms “okay, well I’m not about to just agree without some type of leverage incase he turns on me.” You sighed and Regulus shoved you towards his brother. “Take her” you looked back at him “Reg what the fuck!” You huffed and he waved you off. “There’s your leverage, I’ll go talk to the captain” You charged at Regulus and Sirius grabbed your arm spinning you around to him.

“I don’t think so” he twirled his sword on his hand and grabbed your chin forcing you to look up at him. “If anyones stabbing my brother, it’ll be me. Understood?” You jerked from his grasp “do not fucking manhandle me.” You said and turned to regulus “you fuck this up and I’ll make you lunch for sharks.” Regulus smiled nervously at you because he knew you weren’t joking.

Sirius shoved you towards a pair of his men “her, my quarters now.” The men lead you away as the got ready to send Regulus back to the other ship a few feet away.

***

The day had slowly faded to black night and regulus still hadn’t come back, you were sat at the desk in the captains quarters. When the door finally opened revealing the captain once more. You could see the resemblance in the two men. Regulus was shorter by just a few inches his hair curly and kept while his brothers was straight and tied back. His brother was attractive sure, slim figure but he obviously had muscle and could fight, a beard covered his chin.

“Your dad doesn’t work fast does he?” He asked and you shook your head “nope, his own pace” Sirius sighed and sat down on the bed across the room “are you alright?” You asked and he didn’t reply. You got up and slowly made your way over to the man standing in front of him. “What’s wrong?” You asked and he kept his head pouted to the ground “it’s just exhausting” he sighed and you smiled “being captain?” He shook his head. “Just being me…” you rested your hand on his shoulder and tilted his face up to look at you.

“I think you’re cool!” You said and he smiled a bit “and you’re hotter then your brother” his smile grew wider and he chuckled. “Am I helping?” You asked and he nodded “sure you are love” you let go of his chin and smiled. “Alright, You know my name. What’s yours? Or an I just supposed to call you captain the whole time?” You asked and he chuckled. “It’s Sirius” he informed and you smiled “well, I think you’re an amazing person Sirius” he shook his head smiling.

“You’re just feeding my ego at this point” you nodded “but it’s working!” You squealed when he picked you up and threw you behind him onto his bed. You giggled as you moved hair out of your face. You looked up into his eyes and smiled at him “you’re special, aren’t you.” He pointed out abt you nodded “if you want me to be, sure” he leaned over you “why aren’t you scared? Shouldn’t you be worried that I’ll kill you?” You shrugged “I’m used to this, being used to make deals” Sirius furrowed his brows “why’s that?” “I mean look at me, I’m a pretty attractive girl, and well I’m a girl Sirius” you said.

“So that just makes it okay? Your a women you shouldn’t be used like your…your..” he trailed off “like I’m a bargain tactic?” He sighed and nodded. “Like I’m doing..” you smiled and shrugged “at least you’re cute. You keep me in here rather then the dungeons” “people do that??” He asked sitting up and you nodded. “I mean I’m not one of your crew nor am I your wife so it’s understandable” you said and he shook his head “no it’s not! You’re a human! Dungeons are meant for filthy creatures” you shrugged “guess I am one” you joked but he didn’t find it funny.

“No you are not! You’re a beautiful, intelligent,wonderful women!” He defended and you smiled “you think I’m beautiful?” His cheeks flushed and he shifted off the bed “of course I do! I…I should get back out there see if there’s a update on your father.” You nodded sitting up on his bed. “Of course, Captain” he nodded but didn’t seem to move from where he stood, his eyes locked on yours.

“You gonna go?” He nodded “yeah! Yeah I am!” He walked out after that leaving you giggling on his bed. He was sweet and attractive god damn your beating heart. You kept yourself busy before eventually falling asleep.

“So he’s just refusing to reply? That’s not good.” Sirius was speaking with James and Remus his two second hand men. “You don’t think he’s just gonna allow us to keep her do you?” He shook his head at James offer “no way, it’s his daughter.” “Okay but he doesn’t seem to care about her right now.” Remus said and James sighed “then we will need to make him.”

***

You woke up to Sirius waking you and dragging you from his bed tugging out out onto the deck. “Just play along” he whispered as he pulled you up to the wheel. Your eyes focused on to see your father, his men including Regulus. You gasped feeling the blade off Sirius’ sword press to your neck. You looked back at him but his eyes were kept forward “did you make a decision? Or shall I give you some motivation?” He yelled out at your father.

Your father nodded “I’ll allow your wishes, only if she’s returned to me unharmed.” Your father said and Sirius nodded “fine, go back to your boat first.” You swallowed thickly around the blade. “No, give me my daughter. I must make sure she’s unharmed before I agree” he said and even against his better judgement he let you go, you ran down to your father throwing your arms around his neck. “Dad!” You sighed feeling him wrap his arms around you.

In no time your dads men had swords drawn and began to fight the men of Sirius’ ship “dad what are you doing?” His grip on you tightened and you gasped seeing Regulus going after his brother “dad! Stop! He didn’t hurt me! I’m fine!” Said squirming as he forcefully drug you back to his ship. You shoved away from him “stay here, do I make myself clear?” He warned walking back to the other ship.

You hurriedly climbed the middle post determined to not let him kill Sirius. You tugged the rope loose and gripped it tightly swinging across the small gap kicking Regulus away from Sirius. “Y/n. Don’t get in the middle of this. I don’t wanna hurt you” Regulus warned and Sirius was quick to step in front of you “correction, you won’t hurt her” he held his sword out pointed at regulus as he slowly walked him back down the steps.

“SIR-” you were cut off as one of your dads men covered your mouth. Sirius fought to not look back as he continued fighting his brother. Before you knew it Sirius’ crew was winning and your dads crew was slowly retreating once again dragging you with them. “PUT ME DOWN!” You yelled as you were sat next to your father. A slap sounded as your father hit your face “you’re mine. My daughter therefore I have say in what the fuck you do. Don’t make me hurt you.” He huffed you scrambled to your feet as your dad began to steer the boat away.

“Sirius!” You yelled and he looked at you “Jump” he said and held his arms open you looked back at your dad and then back at him “I’ve got you” he assure and you were quick to move after that. Your boot pushing you up to on the edge of your dads ship you jumped with as much force as you could. Your screamed and hit the side of his ship. You looked up to see Sirius gripping your arm as he drug back up onto his ship sighing when you both hit his steering deck.

“You alright?” He asked quickly cupping your face as his eyes scanned your face taking in the red mark your dad left. “I’m okay”’you assure wrapping your arms around hot neck as you both tried to regain your breathing.

Sirius wasted no time in getting you splayed out on his bed back in the room you slept in the night before. “There we are Pup” he said as he settled himself inside you completely. You let out a whine as he slowly began thrusting in and out of you. “Captain…feels good you breathed out. “Yeah? Do you feel good puppy? Such a good girl you are.” Sirius’ hand wrapped in your hair and jerked you back flush against his chest.

“Gonna be a good girl for me pup? Gonna let me fill you up till you bulge?” You nodded “yes! Yes whatever you want” Sirius smiled nuzzling your jaw with his nose “yeah? You want your captain to fill you up, have my babies?” You clenched around him and that pulled a groan from him. “You want it that bad huh? Gonna milk me dry” he released his grip and dropped you back onto the bed Fucking into you roughly.

“That’s a good girl, take your captains cock like the pretty slut you are puppy.”

Its shit like this that made me fall head over heels in love with my boyfriend (and tumblr in general)

Too many ideas for this ship and i dont wwnba tag it >~< i do want to but urghhh

[spider-xan]

I'm going to delete this later bc I just want to yell into the void and this is obviously NOT directed at anyone reading this, but STOP FUCKING TAGGING SHIT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRACULA WITH THE DRACULA DAILY TAG!! The tag has been unreadable for the last week bc it's the same stupid joke posts about the fake movie over and over again, on top of the 647854787 ad posts about the whale, I stg you do not need to tag every single post about gothic literature or even just the simple act of reading with 'dracula daily' ffs
