Circe's Most Frequented 🤍🤍🤍
My favourite authors over many different fandoms, for your indulgence.
Tumblr media
@astralnymphh - TLOU, sapphic, shakespeare reborn
𖣂 There is no one else who could begin this list except for you tbh. One of the first authors I ever followed on this app and your work has never failed to blow me away; from your beautifully paced works that never run out of new prompts and tropes that you always nail, to your crazy big words you scavenged from wordhippo and managed to intergrate perfectly into your fics. To the Ellie Williams enthusiasts, give her fics a read and I promise it will change the trajectory of your lives forever. And don't be afraid to send her an ask, because she will quite literally craft a masterpiece.
𖣂 My recommendation: 'The Salvo Project'
Tumblr media
@vifilms - TLOU, sapphic, she makes tumblr formatting her bitch
𖣂 At first it was your witty drabbles, then you graduated to 10k fics that take everyone's breath away. The way you can turn a single tiny idea into such a detailed work while also integrating the essence of each character you write into every single paragraph never fails to amaze me every time you appear on my feed. With your constantly changing layouts, and your beautifully crafted fic headers that show just how much of your heart goes into everything you put onto this app, you keep raising the bar again and again.
𖣂 My recommendation: 'Long Night, Long Ride'
Tumblr media
@sweetercalypso - TLOU, multi
𖣂 Also one of my first follows, I remember quite clearly scrolling through the Abby Anderson tag on ao3 and being so blown away that I basically did a cartwheel when I saw you on tumblr. Your fics are the perfect late-night fix that are to-the-point, and your drabbles are filled with every trope anyone could even think up. And I'll shamelessly admit that reading your fics definitely moved Joel up quite a few slots in who I liked most within tlou.
𖣂 My recommendations: 'Texas Hold 'Em' + 'Uncharted Territory'
Tumblr media
@the-kr8tor - Spiderverse, f/m, sfw
𖣂 I gotta say, this third movie needs to speed up so more people can come here and see how well you write for the spiderverse. Finding you in the tags was like a breath of fresh air, and your series works have kept me up at night on more than one occasion because of their binge-worthy goodness! From the adorable drabbles of Billie and Ramona, to the ups and downs that come with being a pirate, your works keep me invested even in the first, second....twenty-something times I've reread them.
𖣂 My recommendation: 'Our Place In The Middle Of Nowhere'
Tumblr media
@s-4pphics - TLOU, Arcane, sapphic
𖣂 I hope you know that when you released 'The Call', it kept me up at night. Seriously, you're a genius. Maybe this style has been written before but it's the first time I've seen it. And amidst all the Sevika and Vi works that were being pumped out after the release of season 2, that fucking gem was put on my feed and it genuinely blew my mind. It was the perfect combination of crack-style fic and dark humour, coming together to make this smutty, hilarious, jaw dropping fic that had me pacing around my room a couple times - one of my favourites of all time.
𖣂 My recommendation, obviously: 'The Call'
Tumblr media
@taintandviolent - Ahs, f/m, multi-fandom extraordinaire
𖣂 First of all, your username is fucking genius. Like actually, it had me saying it out loud and having such an OHHH moment and now I can't stop thinking about how cool it is. Secondly, if anyone has a taste for dark, gritty, horror infused tropes, or loves anything Evan Peters just like I do, her blog is the way to go. Her page is unapologetically for the monster-loving girlies who 'can fix him', and there's a little bit in there for every fandom that finds her. You're one of my favourite authors to send requests to, and you have definitely made me see Bill Skarsgard in a different light as of recent. 𖣂 My recommendation: 'Ouija Board’
Tumblr media

Hey uh guys?
If you draw a Link character and use the Linked Universe character design features, and it's NOT a 3D Zelda character with a really defined character design that shares a lot with Linked Universe...
Maybe don't claim its your own design and get mad at people who tag it LU. Because the Linked Universe character designs are NOT a blank default for you to use yourself, especially not for the 2D games. They are not a baseline from which everyone can 'agree' that this is what the characters look like.
Those are designs that belong to Linked Universe, the comic, and Jojo, the artist. Drawing them -- drawing those clothing designs, that hairstyle, that colour scheme -- and trying to scrub her claim from that is, in fact, a form of stealing.
Linked Universe Warriors design is close (but not exact!) to the 3D model from his game.
Linked Universe Four? Legend?
That's not the case at all.
This isn't to say you can't use similar designs. The palettes for Link to the Past's tunic variations exist in canon. You can make a four-quarters tunic not look like Linked Universe at all (@recalled11 comic does it very well, in fact.) But you have to actively put in the effort to make these characters your own. You can look up the game manual and cover art for inspiration, simple as they all are, but in the end...
Either you need to do the work yourself, or stop trying to steal credit for it from someone else. Because I am not okay with people saying that art "isn't LU" when it blatantly, explicitly is.
Learn to tell the difference. And do your own work.

And because I now have fancy new tags to put to good use…
Thoughts on Miraculous S6 E2: The Illustrhater 🎨
Please note that this is a salt-free space. I do not want to see even a grain of salt in my notes. You will be blocked on sight. Cool? Cool. (And even if it’s not cool with you… well… blocked on sight… so…)
First things first: the new animation style is actually really cute and works really well in context! Chat in particular looks great, contrary to what that first promotional poster made us fear. Adrien as a civilian might be the one who suffered most, probably because of the hairstyle change… It will need some getting used to, but overall, I like what I’ve seen so far. So much love and care was put into the smallest details, like the sparkles on Mari’s tights!
Special mention:
Tumblr media
SHE HAS SPIKES????? LITTLE HAIR SPIKES????? IN HER HAIR????? AND DRAGON SCALES????? AND SLIT PUPILS????? AND HER SUIT LAYS EVEN MORE INTO THE ASYMETRIC VIBE, HIGHLIGHTING HOW MUCH INDEPENDENCE SHE GAINED AND HOW COMFORTABLE SHE IS WITHOUT THE PRESSURE OF BEING PERFECT ALL THE TIME????? AND SHE LOOKS SO HAPPY????? LIKE SHE’S HAVING SO MUCH FUN????? LIKE SOMEONE IN HER LIFE HAS BEEN A GOOD INFLUENCE MAYBE????? 🥺🥺🥺🥺
… Apologies, I seem to have lost the plot for a minute. Where was I?
Tumblr media
Oh, yeah. If one thing is clear from this first look at S6, it’s that Marinette’s secrets will catch up to her at some point. The writers lay it on thick in both Alyanette scenes and with the “Even as superheroes, they share everything” DJWiFi/Love Square contrast! It’s not exactly a surprise, but with how many people claimed we would never hear a single word about the Agreste plotline again, I feel somewhat… vindicated.
Tumblr media
Marinette not knowing how to act around Adrien actually makes a lot of sense to me? She’s had to be his rock through his grieving process, meaning she has functionally not left Ladybug Mode since the end of S5. Of course when she gets a chance to chill and actually do regular couple things, she gets terribly scared! Seeing her trying to imitate other couples was so funny and cute… Did you know I love her… And Adrien was such a wet cold lost kitten through it all… Did you know I love him…
That being said, this felt like an Alyanette episode first and an OT4 episode second. I loved seeing these four work as a group again! Nino was simply too precious and I loved Adrinette “““covering up””” for Renapace. Rena grabbed Ladybug’s hand for their little manoeuvre like it was second nature to her, which is very reminiscent of Bumbleby from RWBY, aka the Sapphic Battle Couple!
Tumblr media
(And that Chekov’s gun… I’m sure we’ve all seen Chekov’s gun…… We shall not mention it yet……… It’s there and we know where it’s headed…………)
But of course. Of course. The character who shone the brightest in this episode? Was Lila.
It’s clear from the get-go how different she is from Monarch!!! Smarter, more manipulative, but perhaps also… more compassionate, in a twisted way…? She gives her victims the illusion of choice (“Only if you agree, of course” // “And what shall I call you?”), making herself small when she first approaches them only to reveal her full size when the magic takes over.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AND YET it seems to me she must know pain intimately to leverage it so well… Really makes you ponder the Manon theory, especially when comparing Illustrhater and Puppeteer’s costumes…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another key difference with Gabriel is that she is on the field, constantly observing and taking notes, which is extremely scary but also exposes her to more risks. I’m very curious to learn more about this chameleon magic of hers and what she means by “you’ll know nothing about me, about us, bout them”… She seems to think of herself as the center of a web, a spider rather than a butterfly, if you will!
Tumblr media
(Also, the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that the Diabolo menthe reference was intentional!)

Favorite girl: 💙 JINX 💙
Favorite boy: Ekko
Least favorite character: I love everyone. But I have to say Viktor. Honestly, he's a very very interesting character, but I sadly can't help but be pissed by him because I think the fandom has this tendency to forgive everything from him and pretend he has no flaws and is so pure and always in the right while everyone (starting with Jayce) causes him pain and doesn't try to understand him... And this rubs me the wrong way. So... pissed pissed pissed but it's not actually because of Viktor, he's a great character. (though maybe I'm a bit of a hypocrit because I might do the same with Jinx sometimes oops) (Also, surprisingly, Ekko started as my least favorite character. Basically because of how good he is (especially next to my bb Jinx, so I guess I hated him on her account lol))
Favorite ship: Timebomb ⌛💣
Least favorite ship: Jayvik
Favorite side character: Cassandra Kiramman. I have adopted her in my heart.
Favorite song: Enemy because it is the iconic opening, Get Jinxed because it's Jinx, What Could Have Been because of what is, what was, and what could have been ToT Ma Meilleurs Ennemie is so so good as a Timebomb song too. I hate choosing!!!
Favorite episode: I think 1)S1E9, 2)S1E3, 3)S2E7
Least favorite episode: S2E9... -_-
Favorite duo: Jinx and Vi, Jinx and Silco, Timebomb.
Favorite design: Jinx
Least favorite design: Mel's black outfit that she gets with her powers
Favorite scene: I think it's 1-Jinx's whole tea party ; 2-Powder and Silco meet ; 3-Ekko and Jinx's fight on the bridge ; BONUS-Jinx lets go of Silco's body in the Pilt, this one is so so hard to watch ;-;
Least favorite scene: There are a lot I don't like in season 2, but I'm not sure which one is the worst. Probably the last caitvi scene in the Kiramman mansion... I mean, it's the ending, second to last scene of two seasons, which puts expectations on it, and I find it very very disappointing... :/
Thanks so much for the tag @lullabyes22-blog <3 !!
I tag: @hannibalcatharsis-zero , @letters-to-rosie , @monstersqueen , @pluviofleur
On tiktok there was this arcane trend that was just about stating some basic arcane opinions of yours and I thought it would be fun to do something similar here! You can tag others and make it a tagging game or you can just answer the questions do what you want :)

Tumblr media
I'm trying the post-it method and it's really messy but, if it helps, I'll keep it up, because I feel like live-reading doesn't help me out with processing this as much as going back on notes does...god, I sound like palmolive...
previously, in nona del 9:
this happened
this is the general tag for all the recaps I've done
CHAPTER 8 (third house skull, which, I guess, but tangentially)
sriracha girlie from school is still on the case and asks nona to up her game in the surveillance task and pretend she's on a radio call
she doesn't elaborate but I doubt it'd help nona understand much anyway if she does
she's just happy to help
nona has to put little boots in the six-legged dog's feet before going out into the scorching heat, though
it's the summer here, so I feel you, noodle
(bonus info: our new puppy apparently has been aptly named because she has 0 fear and is trying to jump into the pool head first like a maniac)
so nona, because she has no preservation skills either, just like our puppy, thinks is a good idea to pretend like she's talking to coronabeer
she still calls her "crown", but it doesn't make me feel any more ok with her pretend calling coronabeer of all people
wasn't she with BOE and whatnot? what if the enemy is listening?
Tumblr media
she invites her to her birthday party on the beach
and I might be too cautious but I know better than to share so much information in the wild outdoors where someone could listen
like 'I'm gonna be in this location at this day, please come steal from me or whatever'
maybe it's just my latine self talking, but be careful out there
how do they trust this girl to not be a hazard on her own?
she's like 8 years old
oh, great, I sound like mercygirl now
nona starts drowsing off and a bible chapter comes in, which people have told me is her sleeping
gonna remind everyone I didn't find that out on my own
that's not a victory for me
JOHN 15:23
"Whoever hates me hates my Father as well" is the bible verse in this one
well, then
I haven't read the bible this much since I was in my second school (out of 4)
so here we are again with dr. reverend emperor john buttface's monologue
there's a distraction tactic possibility to get him killed, if we ever need one
Tumblr media
he mentions the eye color change as things get weird with their experiments
and says cassiopeia?? potentially? or cyrus? told him he looked like edward cullen "from that old movie twilight"
like I'm not gonna clock dr. reverend emperor john having read twilight with his own two changing eyes
Tumblr media
so dr reverend emperor john the menace and his terrible lyctors start doing awful things to the corpses that aren't rotting
allegedly due to dr reverend emperor john "loving them"
whatever that means
and the corpses remain undamaged
what I'd like to point out here is that these people are deranged and god awful even when they hadn't been 25 million years old
this is them brand new from the package and they're all either terrible or complicit in being terrible
I think cassiopeia is the only one visibly suffering but still, man
these people were always like this, this isn't some "we've been out in space so long we've lost touch with our humanity"
happy out of touch thursday, this is you, this has always been you
Tumblr media
dr reverend emperor john starts talking about touching the corpses' hands and feeling them even when they aren't there with him
mercygirl is doubting his sanity
yet still they all followed him to hell, so who's crazier here
they picked two corpses, a guy and a gal, to make more specific experiments on, and he named them ulysses and titania
titania after the shakespeare character
ulysses not after the greek hero
and by controlling their hands from across the room I guess they discover necromancy
he's still talking to harrow through all this
Tumblr media
CHAPTER 9 (sixth house skull, but at what cost?????)
sriracha girle tells nona that, after her imaginary phone call with coronabeer, the ceaseless watcher left the building
literally
nobody knows what this means but sriracha girlie is still on the case
Tumblr media
then they start hearing shots outside and everyone has their safety precautions but they're all bored about it instead of afraid
wish this was just a fiction thing and not the current world
so everyone gets picked up except for sriracha girle, as ush
camilla comes to pick up nona from school and gets pastries (aka facturas, where I'm from)
camilla is doing the lord's work here
Tumblr media
she got them by selling out pyrrha's cigarettes, apparently, which I find a great exchange but I don't smoke, so I'm obviously team facturas
then, we get a nona flashback from a month prior, about the Event which prevents them from going swimming anymore
they used to go to the sea at dusk to have some private time with the water
and by them I mean nona went swimming, because the sea is filled with deadly jellyfish, so they'd kill a regular person, but not nona
she can swim with the jellyfish, which sounds beautiful, actually
Tumblr media
the whole swimming description is so relaxing and beautiful and I am hating this heat but I'm grateful for the swimming opportunity it provides
swimming is great
swimming with jellyfish without dying must be great
relaxing moment for 3.5 seconds for everyone
Tumblr media
of course things can't be relaxing for too long, this is tlt we're talking about
Tumblr media
nona sees some people surrounding camilla and guesses it must be the police
which, in every universe, is a Problem
tons of police men surrounding one woman, yeah, doesn't look great
but I was fine because this is camilla fucking hect we're talking about
no cops at pride, just camilla and knives
nona can't hear their conversation but, at one point, she can hear camilla say "speak House"
which ??????????????????????'
doesn't sound good AT ALL
nona sees one of them pointing a gun and warns camilla, which earns nona a shot through the shoulder
Tumblr media
so then, when nona resurfaces, she finds everyone lying motionless and camilla squatting on the sand
and I was like "of course my baby did that"
youtube
but then nona looks at her and she's got one camilla eye and one palmolive eye
and is talking like camolive is some sort of dragon ball fusion
they ask nona not to freak out
I'm freaking out
camolive's timer starts going like crazy and they ask nona to drive them home
camilla comes back to herself at this point BUT
she's bleeding everywhere
like, blood coming out of her skin
it's everywhere
Tumblr media
nona asks her to get palmolive but camilla says they can't
so nona has to drive them home in the middle of the night with the blood and the salty water and the potential police following
nona thankfully can manage and pyrrha says camilla is in thanergy shock
she says they can never do that again and that if palmolive wasn't sharing a body with her, she'd be kicking his ass
AND I WOULD BE TOO
PALMOLIVE, I SAID IT LAST RECAP, MAN
YOU HAD ONE JOB
KEEPING CAMILLA SAFE
WHAT ARE YOU DOING??????
camilla asks them to not tell palmolive she was "weak"
Tumblr media
pyrrha drinks in camilla's honor while she's recuperating and nona asks her why she said goodbye to her if she's gonna be fine
to which pyrrha asks how does she know she was saying goodbye
basically, camilla is not dying but she's also not fine
which I got from the very heavy bleeding, thank you very much doctor pyrrha
if something happens to camilla I swear to whatever god that isn't the monologuing prick in the sleeping chapters I'm gonna go feral
PALMOLIVE I'M GOING TO CHASE YOU DOWN
Tumblr media
AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS RECAP!!! I think the post its system is better for me?? I'll figure it out as I go. See you on the next one!!!

The worst ending 15 : The Poisoned Fairytale
Tumblr media
The worst ending 14 | The worst ending 16
Yandere!Epel Felmier x GN!Reader
A/N : I decided to watch Snow White. I had never seen it before but my mom said it was really So much fun so I decided to watch it just in case it had something to do with the story.
And it turns out I really like Disney's 2D cartoons. It makes me like, " Wow, this is so hard. How did they do it? " Do you guys believe that I watch every story about 2 times? The first time I watch the story and characters. The second time I only watch the background of the characters and the artwork.
Warnings : This story contains themes of obsessive love , manipulation , and emotional dependency , including death , grief , and psychological distress.

If you want me to tag you please tell me.
English is not my first language.
The small child sat on the edge of the couch in the dimly lit living room, his lilac hair messy and his blue eyes wide as they darted around, taking in every detail of his surroundings. He was quiet, unnervingly so, his tiny hands clutching at the hem of his shirt.
You crouched in front of him, your voice soft as you tried to bridge the silence. “ Hey there, little guy. Do you have a name? ”
He tilted his head, his gaze meeting yours but offering no answer.
“ Well, we can’t have that. ” you said with a light chuckle. “ You need a name. How about…Epel? ”
His lips parted slightly, as if testing the sound in his head, but he said nothing. Instead, a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
“ Epel ” you said with a grin. “ Nice to meet you. ”
He nodded, the gesture slow and deliberate, as if acknowledging some unspoken bond.
Raising Epel was a journey filled with quiet moments and sudden bursts of determination. At first, he communicated mostly through gestures and shy smiles, but as he grew, his personality began to shine.
Epel loved listening to your stories, especially the tale of Snow White. His eyes would light up whenever you mentioned the poisoned apple and the kiss of true love.
“ Tell me again! ” he would say, tugging at your sleeve.
“ Again? I’ve already told you twice today! ”
“ Please? ” he’d plead, his blue eyes wide with innocence.
You could never say no to that face. “ Alright....but just one more time! ”
As the years passed, Epel became more confident and capable. He would often help you in the kitchen, his small hands deftly peeling apples or stirring pots.
“ You’re getting pretty good at this. ” you remarked one day as he handed you a perfectly peeled apple.
“ Of course. ” he said with a hint of pride. “ I want to be helpful to you, y/n. ”
He always seemed happiest when he was doing something for you, whether it was helping with chores or simply sitting by your side as you read him a story. But there was a certain intensity in his gaze whenever he watched you, a longing that he couldn’t quite put into words.
One evening, Epel approached you with a small basket of apples. His hands trembled slightly as he held it out to you.
“ I made these for you. ” he said, his voice soft.
“ Thank you, Epel. ” you replied, taking an apple from the basket. It was perfectly shiny, its red skin gleaming in the light.
He watched intently as you bit into it, his hands clasped tightly in front of him.
“ It’s delicious. ” you said, smiling. “ You’ve outdone yourself. ”
But as the sweetness of the apple filled your mouth, a strange dizziness overcame you. The world blurred, and you staggered, reaching out to steady yourself.
“ y/n...? ” Epel’s voice was filled with concern, but there was something else beneath it—anticipation.
You collapsed onto the couch, your vision darkening as Epel knelt beside you.
Epel stared at your still form, his heart pounding in his chest. He leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to your lips, just like in the story of Snow White.
But you didn’t wake up.
“ Maybe…maybe I didn’t do it right. ” he muttered to himself. He kissed you again, and again, each attempt more desperate than the last.
“ Wake up, y/n... ” he pleaded, his voice breaking. “ Please wake up! ”
Tears streamed down his face as he realized the truth. His lips trembled, his breaths coming in short, panicked gasps.
“ I’m not… ” he whispered, his hands clutching yours. “ I’m not your true love... ”
He collapsed beside you, his sobs echoing through the silent room.
Epel kept your body in the living room, refusing to let anyone take you away. He spent his days tending to the space, arranging flowers and polishing the furniture, as though maintaining the room would somehow bring you back.
“ Once upon a time.. ” he whispered one evening, sitting beside you with a storybook in his lap. “ There was a girl who loved telling stories…and a boy who wanted to be her prince. ”
His voice cracked as he turned the page, the words blurring through his tears.
“ But the boy wasn’t good enough Because He wasn’t her true love.... ”

I've been holding this in for a while but the latest "lets flood the x reader tags with posts complaining about what writers write" has pmo to my limit. allow me this please and i will put the rest under the cut...
for the love of god please stop calling people on tumblr, especially smut writers/enjoyers, 'porn addicts' because you sound like an uneducated, highly sheltered, dumbfuck.
i'm sorry but you sound slow and like you have zero life experience. and it seriously makes me question if you are a minor hiding behind an 18/19 age tag. (because it is always y'all especially saying this).
do y'all know what addicts are? have you ever had an addict of anything in your life? do you know what that entails?
What IS a porn addiction.
being an addict means your entire life is centered around your addiction.
it means your work, school, home and general relationships with everyone in your life is being negatively affected by this addiction
It means if you are driving/taking public transport, you watching porn.
out with friends or dinner with family? you're sneaking away to consume porn or reading smut.
At work/school, you watch or read in the background (think of all the stories of kanye west in adidas boardroom meetings literally having porn playing in the background while they discuss shoes... insanity and i can only imagine the amount of paperwork HR had to do to ensure no one would gets sued).
Overall, you are constantly consumed by the urges to consume smut/porn and its the main priority in your life. THAT is addiction.
What is NOT a porn addiction:
It's not after a long stressful day of work, school, and just surviving in this fucked up world (especially if you support yourself 100% and pay bills) wanting to decompress and escape by writing, consuming or enjoying smut/hentai/porn about fictional characters.
hell it ain't even a porn addiction if to fall asleep or decompress you need to self-soothe rub one out to it at night to relax to smut or hentai or porn links.
It's more of a reflection of a fucked up world who majority of people are so stressed because they can barely afford a living or have no access to mental health services, let alone medicines, or maybe they have all that but they also are just trying to exist in a country that either wants to take all their rights away or see them d3@d. it could be literally anything that causes them stress and they just want some relief and endorphins. that is not an addiction. sure its not the solution to their issues, but its helping them get by and they are perfectly functional without consuming porn.
now COULD there be some people on this app who do have porn addictions? Sure, but those aren't the people you know about who are taking the time to write fics, or engage with others or be apart of the community. they are likely just blank accounts liking/reblogging so they can just binge all day.
and low key the once or twice i did see someone say "they had a porn addiction" they literally just sounded like the actual root of the issue was depression and using smut/porn as an avoidance to dealing with issues. BUT it didn't quite qualify as an addiction because they were easily able to disengage cold turkey and not have it negatively effect them when they did decide it was getting to be unhealthy. thats also not an addiction, maybe heading towards it but not there yet. addiction means dependency you dont have a dependency if you are able to give it up easily.
wanna hear about someone who actually had a porn addiction i've personally seen? so storytime...
i've worked in media most of my career. at one point i worked for the mouse's sports company (think about it lol should be obvious). for orientation i was flown out to big HQ. everyone is given a tour of the facilities where they film everything at. also we saw behind the scenes. you know in tv/movies you see those dark rooms where producers/editors sit during a live broadcast? those rooms. so at this company they allow people to see into those rooms without disturbing them (as they could be live on air) as there is a dark one way type of mirror so you can see in, but they cannot see out/see hallway light that would be distracting.
one of the jobs in the production rooms at this sports company is a sports analyst. now this aint no easy job to get, it is probably one of the hardest jobs in the entire company to get, harder than executive interviews, as they open applications once a year and there is probably 6K+ applicants for that ONE position. your job is to feed the sportscasters sports facts live as they are on air. 95% of what you give them has to be off the top of your head, so you literally just have to know hundreds of random sports facts and just be able to give that to them at a moments notice. its a very respected job in the company cause these guys know their shit and study sports facts for years to get this position.
so wouldn't you know one of them had a porn addiction.
on my tour, literal first day at the job, and we were walking by one of production rooms. there sitting at the back row, so the row we can see the easiest that is in front of the windowed mirror. he is literally sitting there with three monitors: whats happening live on air, random files/notes, and then hardcore porn of this woman getting fucked from all angles by like different men. He wasn't even jerking. He wasn't even looking at it. He was just doing his job like having that porn up was the most normal thing in the world, like it was a fuckin podcast lmfao. LOL our tour guide was so scandalized, she immediately rushed us away from there and phone in on her walkie talkie. (it was a kiiii though me and this other guy were trying not to laugh but i was literally in tears trying to hold it in. i think other people thought i was crying cause i was upset but it was just too funny but i had to play it off cause people got yelled at for laughing).
but the sad part is i heard later that the guy didnt even realize he had it up. that watching porn was just so normalized to him and something hed do all the time he didnt even think that he had pulled it up at work. Now he fucked up his dream job and is unemployeed with a super niche skill having to provide for his family and i think he had like 3 kids too. He'd studied 5 years straight to get that job and he blew it. THATS what addiction looks like. That's how it can utterly destroy your life. Even an addiction that is not drugs can physically destroy you can still tear apart your life.
I don't think anyone who calls people reading smut on tumblr 'porn' addicts understands that. nor do you have the proof to know what people do outside of this app to know how it is or isnt consuming their life.
this was long and alot but i needed to get his off my chest cause some of y'all really be pmo by how ridiculous you sound throwing around the term 'porn addiction' please grow tf up, quickly.

Summary: SV3 is the world's most kind doctor in the tenth dimension, many look up to him for hope and safety. Yet SV3 had no one in his life as he goes out of his way to help others, till one rainy day his life changes when he meets a runaway experiment.

SV3 smiles as he finishes taking care of his last patient of the day, he waves goodbye as the family leaves. Once the door closes he gets up and locks it, he stretches as he walks around taking stock of his medical supplies. SV3 is a man of science and medicine, his rough upbringing never breaking the kind soul. Instead it made him stronger, braver and more confident in his goal to help those in need.  He finishes taking stock when he sees his reflection, slowly he touches the eyepatch he is wearing. He lets out a sad smile as he puts down his clipboard “Seems I will need more needles otherwise this clinic is still ready to go.”
He walks to the front door of the clinic grabbing his keys and umbrella, as he unlocks the door and leaves he looks up at the rain. “Hope everyone is staying warm, maybe i should do something special for those without a home.”  He hums thinking as he opens his umbrella,then makes sure the door is locked as he walks away heading home. As he walks he notices a shadow figure in the distance, he stops walking as he watches the figure take a few steps before collapsing. SV3 gasps as he runs over “HELLO? ARE YOU OKAY?!” He tosses his umbrella aside as he drops to his knees checking on the person “Whoa big..there is no way i can carry him on my own. Sir, hold on, I have an idea, don't worry you will be okay!” He runs back to his clinic, cursing under his breath for how long it felt to unlock the clinic’s doors. Once the door opens he runs inside checking his storage, there he finds a box filled with tarps. “Bingo!” he shouts as he grabs the tarp sprinting outside again, he slips and falls down causing his hair to get loose from their constraints. He gets up letting out a groan ignoring the pain from the fall as he keeps moving, he lays the tarp next to the man. He then gently pushes to roll the man over to lay on the tarp, SV3 looks at him quickly “Oh static he is bleeding i need to act quick!”
3 Pulls the tarp as fast as he can to his clinic, the rain making his hair stick to his face. He quickly runs his hand through his hair to see better forward,  as he makes it to his clinic he runs quickly to grab what he needed to stop the bleeding. After several minutes SV3 lets out a breath of relief, he looks over the man again to make sure there weren't any more wounds.  The man had messy long hair, slowly his eyes noticed sharp teeth sticking out of the man’s mouth “How peculiar, he also has several scars on his face and neck. What have they done to you?” As he makes notes on the man he notices the claws his new patient has, gently taking the man’s hand to look at it closer. He lets out a sigh as he notes it “Something must be affecting his hormones and other values to have a form like this…” He lets out a sneeze forgetting he is soaked head to toe, he walks over to a bed and drops it. Gently he pulls the man to the bed to make him comfy. “Don't worry, I will find something for you to wear.” He walks to the back room where he takes a quick warm shower, once done he wears his spare clothes he leaves at the clinic in case of emergencies. Once he dries his hair he picks it up in a ponytail and makes sure to wear his eyepatch as he walks back to check on his patient. 
The man groans as he opens his eyes, he sits up quickly in a panic “No please don't tell me another lab!” He looked down seeing his arms and chest were covered in bandages, he was confused as to why the scientist would take care of his wounds. It didn't matter to him, he needed to escape fast or else they would poke him again and make him do those tests again. He gets up walking as fast as he could to the door, his wounds making it painful to move too quickly. SV3 walks back to catch the man heading to the door “HEY WAIT!” he steps in front of the man shaking his head “Your injured sir, go back to bed and rest. You can leave the moment you're fully healed, it's too risky to head out into the world with how injured you are.” The man sniffed the air, the person in front of him didn't smell like those scientists yet he knew he couldn’t let his guard down.  He glares at SV3 and starts to growl as he shows his fangs and readies his claws, 3 looks back at the man his face blank as he speaks in a calm tone “My brothers threw me into a cage full of mutated gorillions, so you can bet i won't cry a river for someone that has a few inches on me. Those flashy claws and teeth don't scare me, now go lay in bed you're safe here and need the rest.” The man roars striking at the wall next to SV3, he looks at the man surprised only to get an annoyed expression from 3.
Tumblr media
 He steps back looking at SV3 confused “Look what you've done, your bleeding again! Please sit down and let me take care of your wounds.” He slowly obeys as he sits on the bed watching the man, he studies every movement the doctor does waiting for the moment he pulls anything funny. SV3 gently takes his arm. “This might hurt a little, please bear with me. I'm waiting for lab results in order to give you better help.” The moment the man heard the word lab he pulled away in panic “LAB?! WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING!” He growls ready to attack,  SV3frowns seeing the reaction he slowly shakes his head keeping his voice calm “I mean im checking your blood, making sure you're not sick. Put the teeth and claws away,” slowly SV3 offers his hand “I don't know what caused this reaction but I offer a place of safety.” The man looks at the doctor's hand beside him, 3 nods finishing to re bandage his arms “Im Dr. SV3, may i know the name of my patient?” 
The man stares at him then looks down staying silent, 3 gives him a soft smile “Hey that's fine, we all have our reason. Now rest I will be in the other room checking your samples.” He walks leaving the man alone, once alone he takes out his phone checking the calendar. He stares at the date and smiles “Still have time,” as he takes another step he feels a sharp pain. He lets out a shaky breath as he sits on the bed, he rolls up the bottom of his pants and sees his left ankle getting swollen. “Of course, I should have known I would get hurt with the fall.”  Hearing the ding of the centrifuge he gets up ignoring the pain, he takes the samples and starts to run multiple tests on them. His eyes go wide seeing the results “Mother mutation, these test results are insane.” He frowns as he walks back the man only to catch him trying to leave again, SV3 gives him a blank stare “Sir…” the man slowly backs away from the door. The doctor stands in front of the man showing the paper “Given your appearance it's clear you are mutated to hell and back but…everything about you is just altered.” The man looks down, feeling nervous he knew it was now or never, he takes a deep breath and pushes SV3 out of the way to escape. SV3 hisses in pain from catching himself before turning and running after him “YOUR GOING TO HURT YOURSELF AGAIN!” 
SV3 was thankful the rain stopped as he ran after the tall man, he can feel himself losing balance from the pain. “Come on ankle work with me, I can't leave someone like him alone.”  As he keeps running he feels his ankle twist as he falls to the floor again, hearing the thud the tall man turns, seeing the man chasing him has fallen to the floor. He glares at the doctor “YOU WON'T USE ME NO MORE!” Hearing those words help give 3 the push needed to get up, he swears after today he was not leaving the bed for the next two days. Slowly he walks to the man “I don't know what they did to you, but I can protect you. I tended to your wounds didn't I?” He takes a step back ready to run again, SV3 seeing this was ready to chase only for the pain to finally overwhelm him. He breathes heavy as he falls to his knees, he really wished the adrenaline in his body wasn't giving up on him. The man watches 3 on his knees breathing heavily, nervously he looks around slowly approaching. His ears flicker hearing the pained hiss coming from the doctor, he speeds up to be in front of the doctor. SV3 looks up doing his best to give a comforting smile “Hey big guy, ready to finally get some rest?” The man looks all over at the doctor before his eyes land on his ankles, he points at the bruise that is appearing. “You're hurt too..” he bends down lifting the doctor causing the smaller man to blush flustered at the sudden action. 
The tall man walks back to the clinic leaving SV3 confused at the change of events, the man then drops him on the bed and takes several steps back. He then eyes the door, SV3 frowns seeing this reaction “Look, you're covered in scars and your blood work shows you're in a bad spot. Please…let me help you, I know it's not easy to trust a stranger but you have a good heart. If you didnt i would still be outside trying to crawl to you.” He attempts to stand up, seeing this the man slowly reaches out pushing 3 back onto the bed. SV3 chuckles “Now you see what I mean by you should rest to…OH! Give me your arm, I didn't hurt you when you carried me did i?” SV3 examines the man’s arm, he stares at the doctor then at the door. The man in front of him did smell different, not to mention hasn't shown he was hostile. While he didn't trust him at the moment the man in front of him offers a good place to hide, nervously he answers the question the doctor asked of him before “They called me serial number 123419.”
SV3’s eyes go wide hearing his words “They just called you a bunch of numbers?” He clenches his fist, the nerve of scientist’s treating everything as a set of code and numbers. Anything different is to be laughed at, changed, did they even care who this person in front of him is? SV3 shakes his head as he slowly gets up, using the rail of the medical bed to keep his balance. He gives the man a serious expression “You're a person, not some object. You deserve a real name, to see and experience the world.” The man tilts his head as he watches the doctor hop over to his desk and sits down, the man couldn't help worrying about the doctor. It was strange how he felt nervous being near so many drugs and needles, yet he still worried for the small man in front of him. The man whose face is filled with anger, SV3 notices he was being stared at and gives him a soft smile “While it's not the most original name…would you like to be called SV4? I know it matches mine and i hope it do-” 
SV4 pats his head cutting him mid sentence “You..seem okay, i don't mind the name more easy to remember.”  SV3 smiles as he gets up slowly “Well then nice to meet you SV4, until you fully recover guess we will be roommates!” He slowly hops over to a shelf to get items for his ankle, seeing the man struggle to grab items on the top shelf he walks over and hands the blanket to him. SV3 lets out a giggle “Thanks, since I'm in no state to walk I will be sleeping here with you.” SV3 slowly moves over to a bed with SV4 helping him, he closes the blinds to remove his coat. He reaches for his eyepatch and pauses, he lets out a shaky breath and moves this hand away.  Removing his monocle as he gets comfortable in bed making sure his leg is elevated, he shouts out to SV4 “Please dont leave and stay resting while i sleep, i really wouldn't have to have to hunt you again.”
SV4 lets out a grunt as he sits on the bed next to where the doctor is, he stares at the blinds and frowns. He couldn't help feeling anxiety over sleep given that's when those people always striked, he wouldn't let his guard down. He decided to walk around the clinic, he stares at the different drugs in the locked cabinet. Given the doctor had plenty of time to use any of them on him, yet he didn't and that only confused the man more. He walks to the back room where he sees a smaller cabinet, he opens it to see syringes and a bottle of testosterone. He tilts his head curious as to why these medications are separated from the rest, with a shrug he keeps poking around. SV4 walks into the bathroom being hit with a smell of fresh flowers, he looks around with wide eyes seeing the different kinds of makeup on the shelf along with soaps. SV3 giggles causing 4 to jump and get in position to protect himself “Sorry! Didn't mean to scare you, I just heard some sounds and wanted to make sure things were okay.” It was at that moment that a smell hit SV3, due to all the chaos of their first meeting he never noticed the smell before. He covers his nose “Whoa holy static you smell like something died. I’m assuming those cruel scientists never let you touch soap,” he opens the shower doors and lets the water run, filling the tub.
He slowly walks up to SV4 and unzips the man's sweater causing the tall man to blush and pull back “What are you doing?!” SV3 lets out an awkward giggle “Oops sorry, could you please take off your clothing so we can clean you? You could keep the underwear when I'm in here so you can feel comfy.”  SV4 looks at the tub filling with water then back at the doctor, SV3 smiles softly “I need to change your bandage anyways, after all i need to get the dry blood off your body.” SV4 nervously takes his clothes off and sits in the tub, 3 slowly walks making sure not to put pressure on his ankle grabbing a bottle of lavender two in one shampoo and conditioner. He then gets a sponge as he grabs a bottle with matching scent, he pulls a stool in the bathroom. SV4 pouts as he feels a cold liquid hit his head, SV3 hums as he rubs in the shampoo and conditioner in. SV4 could feel himself relax from the gentle touch of the other man, still he pouted whenever they made eye contact making the doctor giggle. “Close your eyes i'm going to rinse,” doing as he is told SV3 gets a small bucket of water and pours it on SV4 head. Once 3 was sure there was no more soap in the man’s hair he gently pats his back “You can open them, now i'm going to wash your body. Need to make sure your wounds are clean and no dry blood is around.”  SV4 lets out a sigh as he watches 3 put the soap on the sponge “Why do this for me?” SV3 hums as he scrubs the man back “Because I made a promise to help those in need.” 
Tumblr media
As he cleans the man's body SV3 couldn't help looking all over 4’s body, he frowns at the sight of all the scars. How much torture was this man put through, seeing the scars on his body made him pause. He reaches out with his other hand and slowly traces the scar on his body, the feeling makes SV4 blush as his heart races. In a panic he lets out a hiss snapping SV3 from his thoughts “Oh sorry, I was just making sure there weren't more wounds mixed in with your old scar’s.”  SV4 looks away using his hair to hide his face, he wondered if his heart racing at that moment was a new type of pain from his wounds.  Once SV3 was done he got up smiling softly “Okay you finish the more sensitive areas, i will be back with a towel to dry you.” He steps out of the bathroom leaving SV4 alone, once alone he places his hand on his chest “That felt different…not like those experiments, why was my heart racing? I'm not in any danger.” As he grabs the sponge he couldn't help glare at it as he finishes cleaning up, as he finishes he stays sitting in the water waiting for the doctor's return. It was all so confusing for him, the world is cold and cruel. He has known this for years. Yet when he finally found freedom he managed to land himself in such strange company, maybe he did die escaping and he is being given a chance to have a better life. 
SV3 opens the door with a yellow towel “Tada! I hope you don't mind but I also washed your clothes. I may have invented a machine that can wash any outfit in seconds. Downside…your clothes may shrink.” He lets out a nervous smile as he puts the man's clothes on the stool,  he then turns and leaves the room hoping for the best. As SV3 steps out of the bathroom he looks around the back room, the room has always been for him to escape and take a breath from the stress of taking care of so many patients.  Now he has a roommate for a while, perhaps in the morning he will head out and fix it up for SV4. He hears the door open behind him, he turns smiling seeing that the man’s clothes still fit “Oh good no side effect! Now let's take care of that hair, it’s late and unless you want to explore my clinic some more I think it's time for sleep.” SV3 takes out a brand new comb then goes into the bathroom, he points to the stool waiting for SV4 to take a seat. Once seated the doctor leaves the comb on the counter to quickly unzip the sweater checking his wounds, with a nod he walks away grabbing a few items. SV4 watches in awe as the doctor effortlessly takes care of his wounds. SV3 gives a soft smile to 4 as he grabs the comb, as they sit there SV4 nervously speaks up “How…did you get so good?” SV3 chuckles as  he keeps brushing the man’s hair “Lots of practice, I took classes to understand the human body better. Then I worked with a few other doctors here and there before I opened my own clinic. I'm free here to help whoever I want with no rules stopping me.” 
SV4 stays silent for a moment before letting out a hiss when 3 pulls at a knot “Ah sorry, given how long you were experimented on there was no care for your body. From now on make sure to take frequent showers and take care of your hair, trust me it will make you feel wonderful just wait till i remove the bandages first before the shower.”  SV3 hums as he focuses on removing all the knots, SV4 peeks at the mirror seeing the soft expression on 3. He couldn't understand how in a world filled with cruelty, he landed in a place where someone could be so bright. SV3 pulls back and smiles “While your hair still looks wild, tada no knots!”
SV4 puts on his beanie and nods at SV3, the doctor lets out a yawn and looks at his phone. “It’s going to be three in the morning, I should rest before I open later on.” He slowly walks out of the room as 4 follows with a frown, he gently grabs 3’s arm making him turn “Hurt to…rest?” SV3 lets out a soft giggle as he places his hand on SV4, the interaction makes 4’s heart flip “I would SV4, but without me who will help those in need?” The tall man frowns as he points at the doctor's leg, 3 looks down at his leg then back up at SV4.  “You help others but…who helps you?” SV3 blue eye darken for a moment before going back to normal, he pats SV4 arm before walking away “Don't worry SV4, I will be fine others need me way more!” SV4 keeps following, staring at the doctor, his eyes falling to the man’s way of walking, how it's so slow. He can see the doctor doing his best not to put weight on it, the doctor did something for him that no one ever has. The doctor saw him as a human. It was only fair that he did something to help, SV3 lets out a squeak when picked up by SV4. They look into each other's eyes “You help me…i can pay you back.”  SV3 looks surprised before shaking his head “You're my patient not to mention you're injured!” SV4 places 3 on the bed and starts grabbing the wrap he recognizes the doctor using on him, he clumsily picks up the item doing his best to not let his claws rip the item.  SV3 gently stops the man “It's a sprain at most, i just need to use ice and keep my leg rested on a pillow.” 
SV4 puts the item back before picking up SV3 again “whoa! I’m surprisingly getting used to this,” he places SV3 back in the bed and grabs a pillow, putting it on the doctor’s ankle. He then stares at the ankle waiting, SV3 stares at the man in front of him then adjusts the pillow to be under his foot “It's not easy to break in here, you should sleep too. Don't worry…if you're determined to take care of me I'm sure together we can stop anyone that comes in.”  He smiles at SV4, something that 4 has grown attached to seeing in such a short time, he slowly turns to the other bed. He wasn't a fan of the idea of sleeping alone, SV3 watches as the man pushes the other bed closer to him before laying down on it and closing his eyes. SV3 lets out a sigh as he looks up at the ceiling, he wasn't one to letting others get close or helping him. He had a feeling the next day was going to be a long one. SV3 didn't know when he fell asleep only that the light of the new day hit him “Shoot i fell asleep with my monocle on,” he checks on it making sure its nothing is broken before testing his foot. He lightly puts pressure before getting up fully, he lets out a sigh of relief not feeling the sharp pain anymore. He turns and sees SV4 was missing from his bed, walking around his clinic he finds the man in the back room looking at several books. “Good morning SV4, what have you been up to?” The man slyly plucks a colorful book from the shelf and stares at it, the cover had a prince saving a princess. He turns, showing the book to 3 “I saw this and thought it was pretty.”
SV3 smiles looking at the cover “Ah a love story about a prince and a princess, i'm guessing they never showed you how to read.”  He sits down on the sofa and pats the spot next to him, to his surprise SV4 laid on his lap looking up at the book with excitement.  SV3 opens the book showing the pictures on the page along with pointing to the words he is reading “Think you can repeat after me?” SV4 blushes as he nods, doing his best to look at the words and recognize them. After a while one word poked at him the most “What is love?” SV3 pauses and lets out a hum thinking “Well it starts with friendships not always but usually it does, you're close to someone and trust them with everything! You feel a connection with this person you dont feel with anyone else, your heart sings just being near that person.” He stops talking, staring at the book showing the couple kissing “Love feels different for many, romantic love is powerful, family love...well that's something people feel then there is friendship love.” SV4 sits up looking at 3 with curiosity “Have you felt love?”
SV3 closes the book and sets it aside as he gets up from the sofa. “Perhaps once I did, but that was a long time ago.” He reaches up touching his eye patch, shaking himself away from thoughts he turns to SV4 grabbing his hand. SV4 gets up and follows the doctor. “Now SV4 I need to head out to get some things, let's do a physical so I can make sure you're doing good before I head out.” SV4 follows the man and sits on the bed, he watches as SV3 grabs his stethoscope. SV3 walks up to him and slides it under the SV4’s shirt, as he places the chest piece to his chest he notices an increase in the man's heart rate.  SV4 looked away, face hidden with his hair, he didn't understand why his face felt warm or why his heart was trying to run. Just like before he wasn't in danger and yet his heart was ready to leave his chest, SV3 pulled back putting the stethoscope away “I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, your heart was racing…i can't imagine how hard things have been for you. From the sound of things you are healthy, we just need to make sure those wounds heal with no interruptions.” 
SV4 reaches out before pulling his arm back, he looks down “What does that mean?” SV3 smiles softly as he gently places his hand on the man’s shoulder “Means no running or extremely heavy lifting, don't worry we will be living together for a while so i will let you know. Now I need to head out to make sure I have enough supplies for us both, stay here and keep the door locked!”  Before he can walk away SV4 grabs him, he tilts his head curious as to what the man is thinking.  He watches as 4 grabs the stethoscope, he clumsily puts it on before slamming the chest piece against SV3 chest. “What are you doing?” SV3 watches as SV4 growls annoyed at the stethoscope “You need help, stupid thing wont let me hear anything!”
SV3 smiles taking off his jacket, 4 freezes as he watches the man lifting his shirt revealing his chest. He then takes the chest piece and places it for SV4 to hear his heart “Is this what you wanted?” SV4 blushes, staring at the man’s chest slowly nodding, then his flustered expression changed to one of joy hearing SV3 heartbeat. “I hear it, does this mean you're okay?” SV4 looks at 3 excitedly making the man giggle and nod “Yes, now don't worry so much i will be back in no time!” He puts his jacket back on as he walks to the door, he turns to a pouting SV4. He chuckles before showing off a blaster “I will be okay, I have my blaster and the market I'm going to is a fast walk.” He leaves the clinic and locks the door behind him, it was strange to think once he is done with his usual chores someone would be waiting for him back at the clinic. Now that his ankle is better he wonders if he should get extra supplies for SV4 wounds, it would be better if he brought the man to his home. More space and he could give the man a real homemade meal, not cold sandwiches. As he arrives at the market he wonders if 4 even notice the clinic had food and eaten anything, he casually grabs his usual items before pausing. He was buying for two now, he had no idea what the man back at the clinic would like. He also needed to give SV4 something to distract himself with while he worked, that's when he saw a bright stand.
The stand had bodyguard’s watching, they glared at anyone getting too close to the small shop. Interested, he walks closer ignoring the glares and threats of the guard. With a smile he walks into the store seeing an assortment of games and systems “Explains the guards this stuff would be prime targets,” as he looks at the various systems his eyes locked on to a small portable system. Given the pair will have to go back and forth to his house and the clinic, something portable would be for the best. He picks up a yellow psp from the shelf and smiles softly, now that he knew what system to give the man he now had to figure out what games he would  be able to play. He had to make sure the games were something 4 could play with his lack of reading skills, seeing a few platformers for the system he picked the games up, purchasing them. As he makes his way back to his clinic a pair of thugs chuckle watching SV3, the doctor rolls his eye ignoring them. In the world they live in kindness is just another word for easy prey, SV3 knows the evil of the world and has looked it in the eyes. He refuses to let the darkness ruin his kind heart, that isn't to say the man is defenseless, that would be a death wish. He makes it to the clinic and locks it behind him, he puts the bags down as he makes a note to stay close for the day. Suddenly he felt hands on his waist “4?!” he squeaked out as SV4 lifted him and spun in excitement “you're home and you're safe!”
SV3 giggles “You sure know how to surprise me, I bet it was boring being here alone that's why I got you something!” SV4 puts 3 on the floor watching him dig through the bags he brought with him, where he takes out a yellow psp with a bright smile. SV4 tilts his head as he stares at the system, seeing the man’s interest 3 turns on the system “Lucky for me they had it fully charged for us, this is a system where you play video games! To show you how it works let me show you the games I got you and how to switch them out.” SV3 goes to the backroom showing SV4 the system, his eyes light up in awe as he watches. Once 3 was done showing him, he hands it over to SV4. 
SV4 stares at the system in his hand as SV3 places the games on a nearby table along with the charger, he hears game music and turns to see SV4 trying out one of the games with a small smile on his face. 3 giggles as he leaves the back room to get the rest of his items, he was happy that his guest was excited over the gift. As he starts to stock his shelf and make a care box for SV4 someone pounds on the door, 3 turns glaring at the door “We are closed.” Things stayed silent as SV3 stared at the door, the only sounds he could hear was the music blasting from 4 psp. He slowly turns and reaches over to his computer, he looks through the security cameras. He wasn't a stranger to people breaking into his clinic, as he checked the cameras he relaxed a bit seeing no one around. An alarm on his phone rings making him jump, he takes out his phone to see his reminder. With a nod he walks to the back room and goes to the cabinet, SV4 stops playing and watches SV3 take out a bottle along with a syringe. The man frowns watching SV3 draw up the liquid, 3 then walks to the bathroom. SV4 stares at the bathroom door, confused, he walks to the door and knocks “Are you sick?” 
SV3 opens the door confused by the question “No, I'm in perfect health at the moment.” SV4 points to the syringe in the man’s hand, 3 looks at his hand and lets out an awkward chuckle “Oh..this is something different, i'd rather not get into it today if you don't mind.”  The pounding on the door returned causing both men to turn looking at the front door, SV4 gets nervous taking a step back as the pounding sound reminded him of the labs. He starts to breathe heavily “Did…DID THEY FIND ME?!” Seeing the man panic SV3 runs in front of him “Hey it's okay 4, i have you let me check on our guest.”  He takes a deep breath as he walks to the front of the clinic, the front door gets blast open as several men walk in. SV3 stands there with a blank expression as he watches the piantas surround him, they smirk at him as they point a bat at him “We heard rumors of a kind doctor around these parts, lucky us we saw you shopping.”
SV3 moves the bat out of his face. “If you need a doctor I'm afraid we are closed today, I can recommend another place to go if you really need help.” The green pianta glares at him “Seems you misunderstand, we are here for your goods doctor and we aren't taking a no.”  SV3 smirks as he grabs the bat pulling the green pianta close, he kicks his knees harshly causing his grip on the bat to loosen. 3 pulls the bat away and smacks the pianta with it then points the bat at him, he looks around him seeing the shock expressions of his group “I think you misunderstand, we are closed.”
Tumblr media
The yellow pianta shakes his head as he charges at SV3, hearing the footsteps he moves out of the way. Seeing the way 3 moved the red pianta takes his chance to grab the doctor, SV3 sighs as he ducks down slamming the bat against the pianta stomach. Green pianta stands up getting ready to attack “Now you have pissed us off, should have just given us the goods. NOW WE TAKE YOUR LIFE DOCTOR!”
SV3 flips the bat in his hand, his face not showing any fear which only angered the group more. 3 needed to get these men out of his clinic he had a patient to take care of, not only should SV4 be resting but he is now triggered and he cant be there for him. The thought brought anger to him as he moved aside avoiding the men's attack, he swung the bat making sure they felt the worst kind of pain. The green pianta hits the floor holding his arm screaming in pain, the others glare at the doctor. The yellow one looks at the eye patch and smirks, he runs out of the clinic leaving the others looking at him confused and panicked.
SV3 sighs as he looks at the group “I suggest  you do the same as your friend, as i stated before we are closed and i'm not one for those that bully others.” His grip on the bat tightens, the red pianta grabs a chair and throws it at 3. SV3 moved aside only to gasp seeing the yellow pianta return suddenly, he threw dirt into SV3 eye before landing a punch on him. The pianta cheers as the yellow one speaks up “HA NOT SO TOUGH HUH?!” 3 spits out some blood as he curses under his breath “Made me bite myself,” with his eye closed he uses the bat to hit the light switch. The pianta stands there confused by the sudden darkness, and slowly moves themself to the door where a small amount of light shines through. SV3 removes his eye patch and uses it to cover his other eye, he was ready to make sure the men before him learned their lesson till he noticed a shadow moving in the other room. SV4 couldn't breathe as the flashes of the lab flooded his mind,  he hugged his knees crying “Please…don't take me back!” As he cried a scent hit him, the scent of blood filled his nostrils. The images of the lab vanish leaving him in a dark room, he looks around hoping that the darkness wasn't another sign that he will be tested on.  The scent of blood kept calling to him, as he followed the smell everything got bright as he saw SV3 smiling softly at him. SV4 opens his eyes wide standing up, the blood is coming from SV3 he growls as he leaves the back room. SV3 is in danger and is hurt, at that moment the fear of being taken back to the labs was gone. All he wanted was to make sure no one lays a hand on the doctor.
His eyes glowed as he steps out of the back room, he growls as he approaches the pianta. SV3 eye go wide seeing the feral look on SV4 face, hearing the growl, the yellow pianta turn “AH A MONSTER!” With those words escaping his mouth SV4 grabs his head slamming him to the floor, the crunch of his skull loudly heard by all. The red pianta screams picking up the green one and running away, SV4 growls leaning close to the man’s face “Don't touch him!” SV3 watches in awe seeing how protective the man is, it was as if a switch was flipped and the scared panic man before is now a hungry beast. Panic set in remembering the results of his test, the different animal DNA. They wanted SV4 to be some kind of weapon, 3 watches as SV4 lifts up the pianta. 
SV4 growled as he slammed the pianta on the floor over and over, the man’s head bleeding. Seeing the man on the floor start bleeding from the head. SV3 took the risk of running up to 4, he grabbed his arm, his scent catching SV4 attention “SV4 STOP! YOU NEED TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH, THINK ON WHAT YOUR DOING!” SV4 pauses hearing the desperation from 3’s voice, there was no way he was going to let SV4 do something when he isn't in the right state of mind. SV4 isn't a weapon, he is a person like everyone and deserves to make the choice on his own.  “PLEASE!” He holds tight doing his best to not show his newly uncovered eye, SV4 drops the man as he slowly pats SV3's head. Feeling this SV3 slowly let go of the man, he looked down to see the yellow pianta gasping in pain. SV3 looks down, his newly uncovered green eye staring at the pianta on the floor. “You're lucky I'm not letting you die, but you make sure to tell your friends not to come here again.”  SV4 watches confused as SV3 walks and cleans his blue eye before putting the eyepatch to cover his green eye again, he sighs as he grabs a few items. He turns on the lights and starts taking care of the yellow pianta, SV4 frowns “Why are you taking care of him? Didn't he hurt you?” SV3 hums as he finishes up “Because, life is fragile and important. If you must take one do it because you have no other choice, cause trust me that sticks with you forever.” SV3 then lifts the pianta and goes outside to leave the man somewhere easy to find, he walks back to the clinic to find SV4 sitting on the bed staring at his hands.
SV3 walks up to him “Thank you, I'm so used to being alone I didn't think i would have back up.” SV4 turns to him “You're not mad?” SV3 shakes his head as he sends out a drone to fix the door and set up security, SV3 sits on the bed next to him “Of course not, you wanted to protect me and I was trying to protect you. I say we both did good in the end.” They both smile at each other, SV4 then remembers something from one of the games he played. When the characters work together to get over a boss fight they call each other friends, he looks into SV3’s blue eye “SV3…are we friends?” The doctor blushes at the question, he looks away thinking “Yeah…maybe this is what it's like to make a friend.” 
SV4 hugs 3 making the man giggle again as he hugs him back, these two days were chaotic. More so than he is used to, as he looks at SV4 he couldn't help but be thankful for the chaos. For once it might have brought him a blessing, his first friend. The pair lay in bed as SV3 watched SV4 play games on his psp till they both fell asleep.

To the anon who sent the very long ask “debunking” Jikook and mentioning the solo era and other moments: I take it you’re not familiar with my thoughts on that era, as I’ve discussed it extensively on this blog. You’re welcome to search my tags for those discussions…there are plenty of them.
Your ask touched on many points that suggest you either have a limited view of real human relationships or perceive Jimin and Jungkook as fictional characters with straightforward, linear lives devoid of complexity. That’s not how I see them. I view them as real people living complex lives under very intricate circumstances. They’re two individuals who have known each other for over 13 years….a significant amount of time during which ups and downs, ebbs and flows are natural.
It’s not up to you or anyone else to dictate what people should or shouldn’t do, or how they should behave in relationships. Those decisions rest with Jimin and Jungkook, as they’re the ones most aware of their own circumstances and how to navigate them. The fact that the two may have seemed “off” at certain points over the years doesn’t invalidate the possibility that there have been times when their relationship extended beyond mere friendship. To put it simply: if you were dating someone and experienced distance or complications…maybe even took a break or broke up (not implying that this is what happened with Jikook, just giving an example) would it be fair for someone to conclude that you were never together just because of that moment of distance? Of course not. That wouldn’t be fair or accurate.
Relationships aren’t defined by isolated moments cherry-picked to suit a narrative. They’re about patterns, consistency in words and actions, and a shared history. No one has all the facts about Jikook’s relationship, and we’re missing a lot of context. Naturally, this leaves gaps in the story, but your attempt to use selected moments to “debunk” them isn’t how it works.
You also included some inaccuracies and misinterpretations in your ask, as well as speculative assumptions you’ve treated as facts, which doesn’t hold up here. Relationships and feelings are among the most complex things to navigate, and you can’t know how you’d act in certain circumstances until you’re in them. It might seem easy to say, “I would do this or that,” but human dynamics rarely follow such simplicity.
How can you be sure when Jimin and Jungkook are at ease with each other, or when they’re having minor disagreements? How do you know when they’ve grown distant, or when their challenging circumstances affect their dynamic? How do you know when they work through conflicts and reconnect afterward? You don’t. Yet, you believe combing through 13 years of content and cherry-picking moments can invalidate the consistent words and actions we’ve observed from Jikook over the years.
You mentioned their decision to enlist together and framed it as something any two friends would do. While I don’t necessarily disagree with that, you also claimed that Jimin and Jungkook didn’t care enough about each other during the solo era to even stay in touch. If that were true, why would they even consider enlisting together? If I cared so little about someone, I wouldn’t bother going through such a significant process with them.
You also stated that Jungkook only knew about the release of the teaser for SMF Pt. 2 and nothing more (which isn’t accurate) But if he didn’t care about Jimin, why would he even bother to know that much? He didn’t only know it but made sure to ask fans to wait up for it, something he has never done for anyone else. Why would he visit Jimin during practice (something he didn’t do for the other members)? Why wake up at 4 a.m. to watch Jimin on shows, sing his songs, and know his lyrics by heart…while not showing the same level of knowledge for other members’ work even members he supposedly shared a song first with?
Anyone can cherry-pick moments to fit a narrative. But if I were to highlight specific moments over the years that are unique to Jikook and ask you to explain them differently, you likely wouldn’t be able to because there simply isn’t another explanation.
Anon, I urge you not to analyze life and relationships in such a reductive way. If someone applied this perspective to your own life, they might think you dislike your loved ones based on isolated moments of disagreement, fatigue, or introspection. If we had to watch ourselves 24/7 on a screen, scrutinizing every gesture, expression, word, and action, we’d likely approach others with far more empathy and kindness.
Your ask was extremely lengthy, and it contained many inaccuracies and speculations, I don’t feel like addressing each point individually so I am not going to post the full ask. I encourage you to go through my blog, read the posts I’ve written about Jikook and the solo era, and then return with any further questions.
Could there be things that debunk the idea that Jikook are together? Perhaps. But if your argument boils down to “anything JK has ever done with or for Tae debunks Jikook,” I strongly disagree.

Reading TGCF: Chapter Twenty-Four
Tumblr media
For those who don't know, I am reading TGCF for the first time and sharing my thoughts!
If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.
Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag Bloopitynoot reads TGCF. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read BUT if you followed along with my SVSSS read, the rules and vibe are the same.
Tumblr media
I am having the most chill Saturday. My plans were cancelled (sadness BUT) which means I do not have to leave the house. So instead I made soup, caught up on my shows, and read a chapter while the sun was still up! I'm over here in my retirement era (not really, I am not even close to retirement) the grandparent energy is the vibe I'm putting out in the world today.
Today's tea: apple crumble (it's a black tea with dried apple and it is lovely).
okay chapter 24:
Tumblr media
The cuteness: "I don't now how you managed to befriend him, but you're very lucky" ... "Really? Maybe. I think so too." p265
The wind master over here throwing Pei Ming under the bus for "lax security "is incredible. He's such a good pal for changing the narrative on Xie Lian's behalf. p267
"The real problem was stubbornly proclaiming yourself the only one responsible for the Gilded Banquet Massacre" honestly this is not wrong. Though, I don't know what it is, but I am having weird feelings about Jun Wu's character. Like I don't think he's a decent guy. It's a vibe, not sure what yet. p269
This is now the second vague warning from Jun Wu that Hua Cheng cannot be trusted and is a super dangerous entity. I really want to know; 1. what Jun Wu is hiding and 2. what is Hua Cheng's origin story. pp270-271
I don't know why, but I feel the loss of the maple trees in my soul. That's so sad. just a constant physical reminder of the passage of time and literally everyone you knew and loved being long dead. pp272-273
This mausoleum is stunning; the night pearls! p275
I was going to talk about how emotional the talk with Xie Lian's parents was, but then shit started to happen??!! Who are these people?? p279
Tumblr media
Jeeze, I really hate Qi Rong. This poor kid just basically lost his father and was going to end up as a snack if not for Xie Lian. p280
Oh fuck. I really hope Xie Lian didn't "kill" Qi Rong, I feel so bad for this kid. If he did, this is one hell of a villain origin story. p283.
I have officially made it to arc 2!!!
Like is usual with MXTX, almost every chapter is a cliff hanger- his one included. I mean, makes sense for a web novel but dang does it make it hard to not want to read ahead!

I am sorry my tags about the fire came across as accusatory or weaponized; that was not my intention. I thought the middle tag which you left off, #maybe they kinda wanna just chill rn, made it clear that I was just acknowledging there was an extra reason they probably didn't want to get deep this time. I was not saying that you do not care about the fires, nor was I saying I think that's why people asked the less deep questions. The reason I didn't put it in the post itself was in fact because as you said, it's not really relevant to a general critic of the show format. It just felt weird to me not to nod to the fact that that happened and was affecting the crew quite a bit, so that was me doing that. Sorry.
I am glad to hear that the post wasn’t intended to be about Cole. I did read some of your other posts before replying to this one, and I did also find the kids question cringe and unfortunate, cuz like, why does the gender of their kids matter even slightly? Gross, really. It was not obvious to me that this post was intended to only be about that, though, and I do think some of my points stand here, because when you say this (bolded emphasis mine on the second bit):
"the bleed over of fanon is depressing"
and
"a lot of you are showing your asses in terms of how you don't actually gaf about the characters or the story the players have chosen to tell."
it implies that you are talking about many things that you consider to fall into that category of fanon bleedover. Given that the kids question isn't even a fanon thing (as fanon is usually a thing a lot of people subscribe to) so much as one person asking a cringe question (to validate their individual headcanon), it is not at all obvious to me that's what you meant in the OG post.
And logically when follow that up with this in the same post:
"that's what you wanna ask about? it's selfish, honestly."
it sounds like you are also applying that to everything that fits into the category of fanon bleed over.
This is what I meant by splash damage. I am glad my assumption that this was about the glasses question was wrong but I don't think it is unreasonable to look at it and think that's what you're talking about. I do not think I was the only person who read it and thought that. If you say something is lame and that lame questions are selfish, people who ask questions you find lame are going to think you are calling them selfish whether that is your intention or not.
I dunno man, I tried really really hard to make it clear that I understand your frustration and share much of it, that I think it's valid to not like that kind of stuff in Q & As, and I tried really hard to provide context for what I was saying and to avoid coming across as super accusatory. I straight up just hate live Q&As as a thing, personally. Con Q&As make me wanna sink into the floor. Maybe my wordiness here is part of the problem; I know I overdo it when I am trying to be precise about what I'm saying. That’s a me problem. But I commented because we are in the same community and this felt harsh and I wanted to talk it out because that feels healthy to me. And now I know you did not mean this to be about Cole, so I do think that is a worthwhile thing to get out of talking directly. I did not respond because I'm hating on you; I did not say you're a bully. But if you are consistently having people say that they feel like you're coming for them when that's not your intention, I would consider whether you should try temper that brashness for the sake of clarity and not hitting people in the crossfire.
Anyway, yeah, if we wanna talk further, I do think DMs makes sense. I didn't actually see this second reblog until I had written most of this and I did want to clarify wrt to the tags publicly which is why I am posting this despite the DM invitation above.
I hope you enjoyed last night's episode. Have a good one.
I shouldn't be surprised by the fireside chat being the state it was, seeing as I don't follow any CR themed blogs myself or really go into the tags because I find it frustrating but still, the bleed over of fanon is depressing and a lot of you are showing your asses in terms of how you don't actually gaf about the characters or the story the players have chosen to tell.
I love my au's, I love my headcanons, I love my not quite canon ships, but they're for me and the people who chose to enjoy them if they want to. and what makes creating those things more fulfilling is trying to really be true to the character it's about, otherwise just go play with OCs
this will be my last salty post on the matter (guess we'll see) but man, the timing? all of this crazy shit is going on, it is well established that the audience is frustrated with how little downtime we've had with these characters and getting to see those long rest bonds we got to enjoy with previous campaigns, 4SD is over, and that's what you wanna ask about? it's selfish, honestly.

I’m with you, my love The lights shining through on you Yes, I’m with you, my love It’s the morning and just we two
#spike btvs#spuffy#spuffyedit#btvs#btvsedit#buffy the vampire slayer#it's terribly simple#you know you want to dance#injuries cw#bites and chews and gnaws on anyone who says buffy didnt love spike. BITES and CHEWS and GNAWS on them.#like is that not the whole point? of him? of his entire character arc? of his burning to ash as he breaks the sunnydale high school#(AKA buffy's personal cage within the slayer's cage that was sunnydale itself AKA the place where he and buffy first ever fought#and he nearly killed her for the very first time but was foiled by the immense love someone felt for her) as he breaks that place to rubble#in a way also very reminiscent of the first time they slept together and Literally Fucked A Building Down. anyway as he's doing ALL OF THAT#like sure she doesnt HAVE to love him she doesnt owe him anything and even if she did love isnt about obligation. but when buffy says#that she loves him in that scene. theres nothing to indicate that she doesnt feel it. that she isnt telling the truth.#idk man. people take a man who is dying telling someone not to love him as the gospel truth when i feel like its more ... like maybe he's#making a misguided effort to be kind? he's telling her ''dont get too hung up on the vampire thats about to catch on fire#and get your pretty ass out of here while you still can please.''#whatever. WHATEVER. in the perfect btvs that lives in my head most of ats isnt canon but esp the part where spike comes back and doesnt#immediately 1. ASK IF DAWN WAS OKAY 2. upon being told by angel that he cant be put in touch with buffy because [mumbles] misogyny?#go ahead and engage in a flirt campaign at harmony until she breaks down and calls buffy for him. those would be like the FIRST TWO THINGS#that spike did after he came back to unlife. first two things frfr#i'm gonna end the tag rant there. hmm

Greetings! As you tagged this in such a way that suggests you wanted to share this with all of us, I went and took a quick peek at some other intellectual highlights from the treasure trove of insightful and well written discussion of your page. It seems to be the least I can do to share such wisdom with the other souls like me lost in the dark actually liking Caitlyn’s character. Now of course these are things you shared not wrote originally, and some of them are lacking the whole post, but I captured enough to really share the glory of each one!:
Tumblr media
So this one was all about the writers stating Jinx realizing she’s been the problem in Vi’s life. Just a few things:
1. “Jinx pulled Vi out of her pitfighter arc”: Jinx visited Vi multiple times while she was spiraling and did nothing until Vander arrived. Now I personally do believe she was trying to watch over Vi to some degree, but that is essentially head canon at this point because there is nothing to back that up. Never mind that after “pulling her out” Jinx declares herself a hero for busting Zaun out of Stillwater while Vi was passed out in the bottom of a mug. Jinx hid during the entire occupation until Isha was taken,and Vi was in a suicidal spiral caused by among many other reasons- yes including Caitlyn- Jinx. Not exactly the genuine love and kindness way to go. And regarding Cait being too busy to care well that is true, this was during Caitlyn’s darkest period. Caused by Jinx.
2. “Jinx was the one that after everything Vi had done and how angry she was with her, who wanted to be a family with her”- Everything Vi had done?:
A- Like being kidnapped and thrown in prison after the only moment of cruelty she ever showed Powder but still spent seven years punishing herself for?
B- Or maybe getting stabbed, beaten, hunted and knocked out all trying to find Jinx once she was free?
C- Or maybe still trying to get through to Jinx after Jinx attacked the bridge then tried to kill Vi and Caitlyn?
D- Ohhh or maybe you mean when Vi convinced Caitlyn to show Jinx mercy after jinx had almost murdered Caitlyn repeatedly and abducted her nude from her own home? (Spoiler alert Jinx repaid that with knocking Caitlyn out and murdering her mother- ever so kind, truly a hero!)
E- Or even after knocking Caitlyn out how Vi still tries to get Jinx to come away with her?
F- Or maybe you mean when Vi became an Enforcer. After all of the above that Jinx had done. After Jinx’s actions guaranteed Piltover retaliation. So Vi goes with Caitlyn (whose plan stopped the full invasion btw) and brings down the chem-barons and Shimmer. You remember? The dangerous criminals and the poisonous drug that Jinx helped Silco unleash on their people.
And Jinx loved Vi and wanted to be family after “everything Vi had done”. What a champ.
3. Jinx brought them somewhere they could be happy and heal and be a family- No arguments here. Although I would point out it was all Vi’s idea for them to stay but minor point.
4. “the person they put her with couldn’t have given less of a shit. Just being a dictator and sleeping with someone else”- No argument Caitlyn lost her way big time. Now of course she wasn’t a dictator. She was freely given her authority, enforced it in a place she had full authority to do so, demanded arrests be lawful, challenged unnecessary violence and was still meeting with trade guilds to listen to their complaints and concerns. I do have one question on this one though. Did you miss the part where Caitlyn starts a war for Vi then creates the path for Vi to free Jinx from jail? You remember Jinx who murdered Caitlyn’s mother? You must have. Thats okay. Just rewatch S2 E8 and you will feel better pumpkin.
Tumblr media
So this is of course another Caitvi cell scene was wrong and Cait didn’t deserve her happy ending but everyone else did:
1. “Jinx directly communicated suicidal ideation to Vi then went off to attempt. It’s almost portrayed in a way where Vi chooses Caitlyn (an enforcer, an oppressor) over her own sister”- She directly communicated no such thing. We as the audience have the benefit of omnipotence. Vi never saw Jinx blow herself and Ekko up, she never saw Jinx getting ready to blow herself up against Vander, Jinx says “there’s no good version of me…. Breaking the cycle” and Silco’s “projection” for lack of a better word said nothing to Jinx about death. Only walking away. So what Vi chose is the woman she loved (who just started a war for Vi and helped her free Jinx) over continuing to chase Jinx. For the first time ever. And if Vi had been the one to find her they would both be dead. The only reason Ekko succeeded was the Z-drive.
2. “It makes me bitter that caitvi got a good ending despite everything Caitlyn did, which she never apologized for, and it was never fully addressed”-
A- Started a war for Vi
B- Jinx’s back to Caitlyn while Caitlyn is armed, totally ignores Jinx and runs to wounded Vi
C- Helps Jinx get wounded Vi to safety
D- After Jinx willingly surrenders Caitlyn keeps her in the Kiramman bunker rather than Stillwater and passes no judgement until Vi is awake even though she could have executed her immediately
E- “I KNOW!”- acknowledges her wrongdoing
F- “We can’t erase our mistakes, none of us”- placing herself and Jinx on same level
G- “No amount of good deeds can erase our crimes!”- placing herself and Jinx on same level
H- “I’ve hated you, hated myself.. I don’t have the energy for it any longer”- acknowledging and admitting self hate for her mistakes
I- literally allows Vi to make her own choice in freeing Jinx AKA the woman who murdered Caitlyns mom among many other crimes
J- Willingly fights on the front line sacrificing her own body to put things right
K- Gives up her council seat to Zaun
3. Timebomb whining- Sorry your personal fan fic didn’t play out how you hoped 🥲
Tumblr media
Another jail sex scene bad post:
“She kinda just does that shit on a whim”- Yall are the same people talking about season two robbing Vi of her “agency” but if she makes a choice you don’t like she did it on a “whim”? No. She did it because in that profound moment of feeling like she’d lost everyone the woman she loves came into that place of darkness with her, told her she’d laid down the hate that almost destroyed them, and trusted and respected Vi to make the right choice in freeing Jinx or not. Which Vi did, and Caitlyn isn’t angry or cold. She tries to comfort her with a dumb joke. She makes Vi feel loved, and accepted, and respected. And she showed her what she failed to show her before, that her love for Vi outweighs her hate for Jinx.
Not responding to the rest its just more of the same.
IN CONCLUSION:
Boy that was fun. I know you said there is nothing anyone could say to make you not hate her. Maybe the reason for that is based on the material you are sharing and reading. You need to elevate the discussions you’re engaging in! So, unhook your mind from the unending volcanic eruption of juvenile, shallow, brain-dead analysis that is Arcane Critical and come to the good side. We have cookies.
there is nothing anyone could say to make me not hate that blue haired fascist bitch

the roomies!!! i originally designed this ososan oc trio in full about a year ago to write on an rp blog. it's not really active rn, but i still want to talk and post about 'em, so here they are! just basic rundowns, but i'd be curious to hear which one (if any) is your fav of the three (feel free to leave it in the tags?? if u want!)
bonus transparent of them all together:
Tumblr media
aaand some rambling under the cut about their designs
anzu:
i wanted to use orange as a character colour bc it's one that wasn't already used in the matsu rainbow, and i had a concept of a gyaru character named anzu kicking around in my head for a long time as well, so here we are. miwa from the mixer ep inspired the eyeshadow (orange rather than miwa's blue obv, to keep with her colour theme) and delinquent totoko's design inspired her ombre dyejob! i went with a blonde-to-orange look as a nod to anzu's namesake fruit (apricot).
the strands framing her face are split into 3 sections at the end (2/3 are grouped together and 1/3 flips in the other direction) which is a little nod to her being one of 3 siblings (eldest), as well as the "三" character used in her surname (mikado) meaning 3. the rest of her hairstyle is just because i thought it looked cute, though.
ososan's style is more simplified, but i wanted to convey makeup that was a little bold, but cute (long false lashes, eyeshadow, & and a soft pink or nude glossy lip). clothing-wise, she mixes and matches a few different substyles (agejo and onee are prominent, with some ane, tsuyome, and general old school gal influences as well?), with a particular fondness for animal prints, esp. tiger print. (that said, orange tiger print doesn't seem all that common in gyaru clothes, so in-universe i like to think that the top pictured above was originally a black-and-white zebra(?) stripe print she thrifted and dyed at home--close enough!)
her nails day to day are usually medium length since she has a lot of hobbies that involve her hands and anything longer makes those things a bit more cumbersome. sometimes they're decoden/bedazzled, sometimes they're just painted a cute colour/pattern, depends on the day! and i think she opts for press-ons over extensions for longer nails, since it's cheaper.
ran:
i'm just a bitch who loves purple, that's the reason for this one. i think the hime cut with shorter bangs is nice because you can showcase the eyebrows (i think eyebrows can really elevate a character design so i gave all 3 their own brow shape) without worrying about the lines for the eyebrows and bangs intersecting in an annoying way when you draw it. i like shorter, slightly sharp eyebrows like these because they're easy to draw, lol. i think they're usually furrowed like she's displeased with something, but that may just be her resting face. i also thought this blunter, sharper-looking cut (bold, standoffish) was a fun contrast to anzu's flippy half-updo (bright, bouncy) and yuzu's short, wavy hair (languid, relaxed).
5 piercings on each ear (2 spiked helix & 3 lobe) = 5 siblings including ran (4 older brothers). the other reason for this number of piercings was that her namesake flower (orchid) had--i thought--5 petals, but as it turns out i'm a fool, it's actually 3 petals (including the lip) and 3 sepals??? ah, well.
clothing-wise, influences from various punk/vkei styles alongside some rokku gyaru. (maybe anzu introduced her to this one?) this brash style is the total inverse of how she was expected to dress growing up. (when she and anzu first met, she was an OL with no piercings, undyed hair, and positively miserable, but that was a number of years ago now.) i'm really not reinventing the wheel with "small and angry", but y'know, we have fun here.
yuzu:
is teal distinct enough from blue to count as its own colour? i think so. for yuzu, i really loved the concept of a deadpan-looking character who is very much not the straightman, who in fact wants very badly to be the funnyman 99% of the time. that kind of straight-faced but silly comedic character is always really fun to me.
half-lidded/heavy-lidded eyes paired with thick brows are always a winner to me fsr, and i wanted to give her a more "handsome" looking face with a bit more of a defined jaw than you typically see on women in ososan. as a treat. i wanted her to look a bit like a mysterious prettyboy, but she's not actually mysterious, she's just a space cadet. (and very straightforward about her thoughts and feelings, saying them with little fuss or thought.) expectation vs reality, people deciding what you're like based on their own perception vs what you're actually like, etc. etc.
i don't have anything deep to say about her hairstyle, but maybe that's how yuzu would like it, what you see is what you get. (again, eyebrows vs hair... let that eyebrow scar that i gave her for no reason shine.) as for clothing, she prefers things that are easy to move around in, so her style is the most "matsuno"-like (t-shirts, hoodies, basketball shorts, sweats, etc.). in particular, she likes shirts with phrases, usually in english, that are funny or almost make sense but not quite ("for background visual gags" and "for the english speakers in the audience").
