[crmsndragonwngss]

Did… did the dude from Shinedown really just say that Spiritbox fans are gonna find out about Papa Roach because they’re touring together??????

[peachnecrosis]

So I randomly found this blog and holy shit your most recent post resonated with me sm. I think the only part I can’t relate on is Pewdiepie, I just don’t care or watch many YouTubers in general (I genuinely struggle keeping up with stuff bc I literally live under piles of rock) but my go-to has always been the Cancer crew. I remember back then I legit made 4 ocs based on Max (Maxine specifically), Ian, Joji, and Chad. I redesigned them over the years but I could still see the influence the cc had on my younger self. Man I wish I could post or at least show those ocs sometimes but I know most ppl I know will not approve lolz. (cause you can still know the 4 is based on the cc, if you put them together that is)

ey, glad you could relate! i do agree with the youtuber thing to an extent— i didn’t really care about too many of them after i got old enough for shopkins unboxings and animal jam amvs to just not hit the same anymore. then i discovered cc, and now i’ll probably be trapped pouring my heart out over the most neurotic group of men i’ve ever encountered for a good long while. i wouldn’t claim to be blissfully ignorant when it comes to the routine fixations of chronically online individuals, per say, but it’s hard for me to kind of get engaged with a lot of trends beloved by the wider internet nowadays; i’m very content to mull around in my own little curated space with my people. i’ve witnessed what you’re referring to here a lot, actually, and always feel giddy when i can make a connection between someone’s benign, (or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, super convoluted and flashy) heavily contorted original characters and like, some gay content creator they fawn(ed) over. it’s largely inconspicuous, as well as a nice thing to look back on and, like you said, reminisce on how your interests in your younger years influenced your creations and such. i do wonder what you mean when you say most people you know “wouldn’t approve”— is it a matter of waiting to chastise you for making ocs based off youtubers that may be viewed as problematic? i notice that a good amount as well— when a content creator’s popularity declines, or they merely shift target audiences, a lot of the internet keeps a mental freeze frame of how they are/behave that may be inaccurate due to the simple fact they haven’t kept up with them in a long time, or just never did, only hearing about their content and such through the grapevine. i’m sure there are a lot of people out there who could only identify idubbbz as “that one guy who roasted leafy in 2016 and was not very conservative when it came to his slur usage”. something like that. guys like these may not be everyone’s forte, and their content definitely isn’t for the faint of heart, but i like to be secure in my morals and not swayed by the differing opinions of internet strangers. (not saying that you are— if this kind of stuff is considered too crass over on your turf, it probably is best to keep it to yourself ^^’). i’m sure your characters are very cute, though, and if you’d ever wanna share them while still lying low my submission box will continue to stay open until i die, or tumblr shuts down. whichever comes first.

sorry for word vomit. thank you for the ask!

[sevazh]

OH MY GOD YOUR ART........ im the dude yapping about kaoru's shitty gacha life escapades and YOU DREW IT EXACTLY LIKE I IMAGINED IT. THE MAFIA BOSS OUTFIT AND EVERYTHING. did you HACK into 15 year old kaoru's gacha life world and grab that kyoya out of it because holy shit that's so accurate i swear 😭

THE FRAME OF HIKARU HOLDING IN HIS LAUGHTER BEFORE COMPLETELY LOSING IT IS GETTING ME. that is EXACTLY how itd play out down to the kaoru trying to pretend he's a mob wife and not a delusional man forcing his poor husband to play dress up....... so not fair why does the loser cinderella boy get to win in life by actually ending up marrying the guy he made 20 minute long gacha amvs about. why is HE succeeding at life /j

tag your art as #kyokao soldier the rest of the world needs to see this ❤️ (sidenote: your artstyle is actually so cute omg i love how expressive it is <3)

ill let you in on a little secret on why i can make it so accurate: i was one of those gacha kids

watching the conversation go on about kaoru making movies about his fantasy of himself and kyoya unlocked insane memories i had completely forgotten about. i —no shit—DID THE SAME THING WITH MY CRUSH IN THE SIXTH GRADE

unfortunately my creations werent as funny as kaorus— i only specifically remember making a movie of myself fighting off his boy best friend

unlike kyoya and kaoru however my crush was not interested (for some reason) as we are not married and have not spoken in 5+ years

did i mention i SHOWED HIM the gacha life videos i made of us?

BUT ANYWAYS!! THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS!! kaoru and his awful cringey gacha life videos + hikaru endlessly making fun of him for it has become one of my favorite concepts that will be stuck in my head for the foreseeable future <3

[meitantei-shitpost]

ENAMOURED with your amv! I just watched it like four time and slowed it down to see it frame by frame. Holy shit, your smear frames are incredible and I’m not sure how to say this but the way that you rotated the perspective so fluidly several times is just really amazing! Really really really cool animation!

(Referring to this post)

AAAAAAAAAAAA TY SO MUCH ANON!!! Literally kicking my legs and rolling around reading this, you really just made my day!

Here are my favorite fucked up Conan frames. In any frame that isn’t the main focus he just kind of devolves into some sort of creature

9 people you'd like to know more

i guess i can play, @skygirlstars 🤷🏿‍♂️

last song I listened to: Luke Evans - Silent Night Found out he sings outta the blue and gave his A Song for You album a listen. Nice-ass voice.

Scrollin' through images of him in Dracula Untold (2014) has me tempted to watch again. 😳 i refuse to count Bring me to life by Evanescence from YceQueen's Heroes: Adam Monroe - Bring me to life video (even though it was my kid jam) because i wasn't expecting an AMV of sorts.

currently reading: N/A I ain't readin' shit that ain't on tumblr or an article right now 'cause fuck dat; ADD don't play. Last book I was readin' would be The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin (audiobook + ebook). According to my note, I stopped at ch9 (pg105). Great shit. Be careful looking it up in any way. Bound to get some major spoilers for the book series. 😭

currently watching: Oshi no Ko holy hell dis fuckin' series go hard O.O first episode especially, though, tbh the next 2 were great, but could not possibly match avoid all spoilers (including descriptions!); just dive into the first half of episode 1 and then you'll know

next on my watchlist: N/A Assuming I actually finish watching at random sometime this month, 🤷🏿‍♂️ I'll just decide then.

current obsessions: N/A nada, fortunately no wait... tumblr 😐

9 a y'all...: @missmayhemvr (👈🏿 👈🏿) @imnoveria (👋🏿) @superfamiblog (answer in games only)

Star Trek Prodigy, notes on the watch, ep. 1-2

Back from the jungle, time for the stars! (No, seriously, getting TWO stories you were looking forward to for years in a row is one hell of a feeling).

Lots of spoilers ahead!

Rok, you just did WHAT. Never underestimate a girl's love for cute fluffy things, ahahaha! That's going to be one of the galaxy's best xenobiologists, isn't it?

Ok, so Jankom's politeness is the result of walking into the typically like 90% awkward (I mean cool, ahem) engineering class, huh?

Dal is Dal, haha! Choosing his own targets, huh?

I really need to read up on the timelines - naturally, this is squarely after Lower Decks, and I love how they tie in to it. Of course everyone except Dal has been to the museum! And the supernova. No mention of the evacuation last season, right?

Yeah, Janeway sitting in an admiral's chair and not getting out there? Hahaha, that didn't last long.

...Also goddamn Nova Squadron? AHAHAHA!

NOUM! Tellarite mentorship arc GO!

Murf is doing an excellent job of being a gelatinous shapeshifter, haha!

CETACEAN OPS PROMINENT, HOLY SHIT!

Oh my god, poor Dal, you really didn't know how much paperwork Command works with? I am so sorry, kiddo, that's how they get you!

But also Dal is right, as always. Janeway doesn't throw words like "uniquely suited for" around.

Jankom, you're breaking my heart here.

Gods, Dal and Gwyn! Dal and the way he speaks about his crew! And she clocks him in 2 seconds flat.

Oh. Oh. Of course Dal hasn't read Temporal Mechanics 101. He's terrified.

Oh man, long distance relationships do be like that.

Fucking CLOAK.

GWYN! Also, that Trill. a) Is that the real Ascensia? b) ...wasn't she just on Janeway's bridge? Or is my facial recognition not just dead, but decaying 6ft below ground?

SOLUM. Also Gwyn. Oh no. This *is* the disastrous first contact, isn't it. And damn, are they elf-coded.

Ascensia not wasting time, good for her. Also. Oh god. Baby Ascensia.

...Her heirloom stolen? When? Never mind, she clearly has it, why not show it? Because of the Diviner? She doesn't want to incriminate him? Good choice, I think, at this point.

...Well, there goes your ride home, Gwyn.

Dal street kid skills!!

"Jeffries tubes only lead to trouble!" AHAHAHA do not let Rutherford hear you say that, Rok!

Is that a living construct? That voice. It sounds like the Diviner.

Oh Gwyn, neuroflux migraines canon, and you inherited them. T_T

Ilthuran. That's a good name. Also I am laughing out loud at my little AMV now. "Oh sing a song of Ilthuran", that fits very well. XD

RIP Adreek. :((( But maybe not quite dead yet.

Ohhh Ilthuran. :((( An astronomer on a planet that cares nothing about the stars.

Considering that the heirloom is also the connecting port for the Arcaneum, this is going to tip off security, isn't it?

...There's an adoption ceremony. Oh shit.

Interesting tidbit on the Vulcans there! ...And wow, "stay out of my head from Zero?!?!"

...Sooo they're lost in the wormhole without their xenobiologist AND security officer, and with an unknown quantity Vulcan telepath? GREAT!

Stable time loop, huh. Well, shit.

[young--cheeseburger]

So I had this insane idea to go back and read Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi and liveblog about it then condense them into youtube videos.

This all started because I was watching one of Rebeltaxi's videos and idk how but the gears aligned in my brain and was like:

"bro remember that edgy ass Powerpuff Girls Comic"

And I was SHOOK so I went to go check it out because I was genuinely curious and ITS. STILL. ONGOING. This fuckin dude Bleedman still churning this out almost 20 years later.

I started reading it when I was like 9-10 I wanna say. I watched Powerpuff Girls Z on youtube and got recommended a Blossom x Dexter AMV and was so confused as to who made the art and why there were ship videos so I looked up the comic and BOOM my child brain thought it was peak fiction and Bleedman was "SUCH A COOL ARTIST XP." I remember keeping up with it until around 2013-14 and slowly weened off of it. Even worse is that I also read Grim Tales (if you thought PPGD was edgy holy fucking shit this is a whole new level) and Invader Zim: Manifest Doom along with it.

(Ah the consequences of being a kid on the internet with no parental supervision...good times. /s)

And I'm sure people do remember it but I looked on youtube to find a retrospective of it and nothing showed up so I was like: "maybe I could do that."

So join me dear reader as I dive back into the absolute mess that is PPGD.

Imma officially start the reading in 2024 to mentally prep myself for something that has NOT aged well.

[pokenoire]

I mainly wanted to say that your tumblr blog is like a breath of fresh air as someone who saw a lot of the pokemon character shipping wars when I first got into the fandom around 2015. I'm also an amourshipper, it was my first ship and the way I got into fandom, but I genuinely love seeing other ships also get love, multishipping is so fun and just freeing, like why choose when you can just enjoy both!

Also do you had any amourshipping headcanons?

I've been in this fandom on YouTube and on Deviantart since 2007, I thought it was so peaceful compared to the current shipping fights, Of course I was a person who rarely looked at ship comments, since I wasn't interested. I have had contact with many if not multi-shippers, they were respectful and seemed to make fanart of everything (Poke, Advanced, Pearl, Negai...even Amourshipping and Yumeshippers or Canon X OC), I think it helped me to be neutral in that sense...

Oh I just love them so much, I have so many different headcanons I consider them as multi verses (UAs) both what I wrote in 2013-2018 and what I did in this fandom in 2019-2023.

Well, let's take it one step at a time. In 2013, I started watching XY and joined the fandom on Deepy. I watched absolutely everything other than AMVs...uh I looked at FanFiction FF net (I used page translation to read on my first phone) and saw that there were many other different things, I chose some ships to write about... specifically (Amourshipping/Mirroramourshipping) being the main ones from my pre-teen era the second one I chose to write about was, Palleshipping (I thought I had to have a separate account for everything so... I kind of did something like "I was a Palleshipper") which wasn't very cool, but I apologize because I was a kid and didn't know that, I didn't need to go THAT FAR, and could have posted this on my main (2014-2015) I started reading Shinsato, before I saw some things but...it was just hitting some random site lol, I just ignored it. Sapphirepearlshipping IS THE NEXT WHO I CHOOSE WRITE 😭🩷🤎🧡🥰

But reading it all and rewatching it I know I'm neutral to the palettes on screen. I also got to write Gary X Serena lol I just didn't see it happening in the show but it was fun to make this conflict of feelings so you could say it's my fanon (this was probably the beginning of my bi Ash Ketchum headcanon)

When I was younger I didn't know about the things that PokémonRangerboyguy did, but...I remember watching his own videos with Fancyfashionshipping (Dawn X Serena with Lost in you style) so it began + my wlw Serena agenda and Dawn lesbian even more deeply (despite knowing Sana x Serena and Miette X Serena...I was more neutral towards them too and saw them as friends/BFF)

I admit that in my new rewatch... I was more in favor of Serena X Aria imo...

Now, let's go to part 2, wlw SatoSere this is something that I simply, ONLY found out about entering the miraculous fandom, they usually have a VERY strong headcanon wlw ship or mlm ship or male/fem genderswap...male Marinette/ trans Marinette/ transfem Adrien/ fem Adrien Agreste etc. I just took this and did the same for SatoSere (I already wrote Adrien X Marin and Marinette X Adrianne (which helped me to do Amourdreamshipping) crosdessering Ash in fem Ash slash SatoSere...many things I couldn't finish or start in 2016-2017 because at the time I didn't have time (in high school I tried teacher training and it took up all my time 😭🫠 so I deleted all the stories I was working on)

Now, the third part is that I REALLY LIKED MIRRIOR ASH HE SO CUTE AND HOLY SHIT IT TOOK MY MIND ✨⭐ I DID SO MUCH THINGS WITH HIM THAT I CAN'T SAY one blog without becoming bigger than it already is 😭 but one universe in particular is that he is AUTISTIC (before I was diagnosed with autism) so this is my favorite. ❤️🫠

Ok sorry I talk too much...

Male Serena my BELEVOLED I never had a chance to write Male/Boy Serena because I NEVER COULD COME UP WITH A GOOD NAME FOR HIM Ç.Ç

Thoughts on e6-e7 of The Terror

Continuing my first watch of The Terror, I just have to say... holy shit, that carnival!

I could tell something was going to go horribly wrong with how generically spooky it was, and I'd heard some vague spoilers of Dr. Stanley being a bad guy with respect to it. But he just straight-up arsoned the whole place in the most horrifically premeditated way possible. Possibly the most terrifying thing I've seen so far in the show, because while the Tunbaaq isn't real, overcrowded events with poor escape routes definitely are.

Also shocking was the fact that the guy Hickey stabbed there was an accident! I saw a second of that scene in an AMV pre-watching and I assumed that it was Hickey murdering things up Hannibal style. But actually Hickey was frantically trying to save the lives of everyone there and actively warning people that he was cutting through the tent. I cannot believe how much context completely 180'ed the meaning of that shot.

TBH if I hadn't watched e7 immediately afterwards I'd have wondered if the whole "Hickey is the show's villain" thing was an elaborate trick the Internet had agreed upon to prank new watchers. Even with e7 (when Hickey kills Irving and Farr) it seems hard for him to surpass Stanley's villainy? Maybe I'll be surprised.

The fact that the writers chose to have Hickey be the one coincidentally outside the tent, trying to save people, is... interesting. It's not that Hickey did anything particularly impressive or selfless what with moving the crates out of the way and cutting the tent open. But it's definitely a choice to make him more sympathetic (it could have been anyone outside the tent, in theory). I feel like I actually believe Hickey when he said that he found the dog with a broken leg (if he were lying, would he have admitted to killing the dog at all?) Relatedly, I'm glad we haven't heard anything more about the ship's cat—the dead dog and monkey were sad enough that I'm glad to be able to pretend that (somehow) the cat is happy and safe.

Also someone called me a Jopzier truther after my response to e1, and I was like "IDK, I don't even know these guys," but yes I 100% do ship Jopzier now. Jopson was so sweet taking care of Crozier when he wasn't feeling well! Plus Jopson was like "🥺🥺🥺 You didn't let me shave you or help you put on your underwear? 🥺🥺🥺 Plz dom me, sir, I can't function otherwise." and Crozier literally responded by promoting him. I feel like that might not have been what Jopson was aiming for, but still, sweet! (I started searching for Jopson content and immediately found Jopson/Hickey art, which I apparently also ship now despite first liking Jopson for the Jopzier angle.)

Speaking of shipping, I'm increasingly appreciating Goodsir/Lady Silence. You go girl, be the big spoon to your scared little man! I'm sure you two aren't doomed by the narrative at all...

I'm also disappointed that for all the fan content I've seen about Fitzjames's gender feels, he apparently doesn't even WEAR the dress? He just holds it up in front of himself??? Tragic. It looked like there were people in dresses at the carnival too, so he totally could have gotten away with it though only metaphorically; he literally might not have been able to escape the fire otherwise.

Hiiii tagged by @xielianss (thank you darling! <3)

list 13 songs you’ve been listening to lately

Francesca by Hozier this song took me completely when i first heard it, i love the lyrics and the emotions Hozier puts in every verse. i keep singing it non-stop

Enamorado Tuyo by El Cuarteto De Nos that i've first heard in a sasunaru edit tiktok. i have no regrets since i always discover great songs by sns AMVs and they always manage to pull real human emotions from me when i'm feeling disconnected

Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones there's something about this song that sounds so crispy and good to me but like texture wise?? idk how to explain it but it sounds so so good to me

Maar Daala from the movie Devdas so Devdas is one of my favorite movies ever, is so dramatic and the visuals are beautiful, but this song in specific is the reason why i went after the movie to watch and it was super worthy, and this song is so good and the scene is amazing. seriously Devdas is a gorgeous movie and the songs are great, but this one is *chef's kiss*

...IN HEAVEN... by BUCK-TICK i just love the vibe of the song, and BUCK-TICK in general. as jade said, their vocalist passed away, sadly, but the great songs remain with his beautiful voice. since it came out i've also been liten to Mugen Loop a lot too since it came out

Identity by Sakanaction this song is soooo good. Sakanaction in general is a band that i've discovered a few years back and i love their songs and videos, but mostly i loooooove the baseline.

When I'm Alone by Twisted Nerve got addicted to this song since i first heard it in my friend's ig story. really good and idk i really like this texture of old recordings it adds yo the song.

Senhor cidadão by Tom Zé this song is a bit tripy and in general feels like a post-modern play written by liberal theater students and the lyrics are soooo fucking powerful and it never stops com making me feel punched in the chest when they get to "eu quero saber com quantos quilos de medo se faz uma tradição" (i want to know with how many kilos of fear a traditions is made) and after that is just non stop raw feelings

O Mundo É Um Moinho by Cartola i love the guitar of this song it's beautiful, but in genera this song is heartbreakingly beautiful and sad even if it makes me optimistic. i wish i could talk more about it but it's something that you have to listen and read the lyrics and you'll feel

What's Up by 4 Non Blondes i was singing the He-Man meme version of the song one day and then i stopped to pay attention to the lyrics and i thought "oh shit i'm going through this exact same thing right now what the fuck?" so this is the song i'm listening to lately to go through the very difficult days at work

Holy by King Princess i needed to chose a name for one of my fishes and this song was playing and i really liked the melody then i got really addicted to in and listened to it non-stop for four days straight

Baby sung by Gal Costa i love this song so much and i love every single version i've listened to so far, but to me this one is THE ABSOLUTE BEST because the strings and Gal's voice is angelical. and again, old recordings have a specific texture and this one i feel like im in a huge theater as the only person in public listening to them perform. in general is feels very dream like, an absolute fave. and i'm cheating a little bit because i'm always listening to this song not just lately, lmao, but it deserves to be mentioned

Tá Escrito by Grupo Revelação listen, samba and pagode in general are not music genres i'm really into, i have nothing against it, it's just not something that i listen. but one specific hard day i was taking the bus home in a bad mental health day and this song came randomly and saved my day. it's very optimistic and hyper, and now every time i'm needing some hope in my life i listen to it.

So, now that I see it, a lot of them are stuff that i've been listening since teenage years, but i always go back and forth when it comes to songs/artists/genres. this was so much fun!!!

thank you again jade for tagging me!

ill tag: @jcamilov06, @soda-limonada; @happyholand; @adimelo; @zapatism and @corrupted-willy. Feel free to do it if you want, I thought it was really fun!

Tagged by @tannoytalks!

To play, tag 9 people you want to get to know better or catch up with, and then answer the following questions:

Four Ships:

(Possible spoilers for the media each ship is from)

—–- Singed + Silco (Arcane): I'm actually so new to this ship, but my brain suddenly decided to hyperfixate on Singed, and Silco was already one of my favorites too, so just... dubiously united villain couple hello??

The fan fics I've read of them so far are delicious as fuck, and the artwork I've seen is juuuust amazing. Wholesome stuff, dark stuff. I love it all.

And I love the idea of Powder occasionally interacting with Singed, and like he's not really her dad (he's Viktor's heh), but he's still a second wise adult figure in her life, and he uses his thorough understanding of what makes Silco tick to help Powder with communicating with him (or hiding certain little things from him huehue).

Singed is the only character that Silco is never once seen so much as manipulating, let alone intimidating or threatening. I like to think Silco knows that Singed is kind of in a league of his own, and that if he tried to boss him around in the wrong way, Singed could very easily end him in his sleep. Or worse. :3

Though I don't think they hold any animosity towards each other. I don't see it as a very tense relationship. If anything, I like to imagine that they care about each other in some sort of way. Sure, it's partially because Silco provides the space, funds, and test subjects while Singed provides vital medical help and, well, Shimmer. But I'm a sap, so maybe there's a slight bit more there, I dunno!

—–- Misaka + Kuroko (A Certain Scientific Railgun): Listen. Surgically remove Kuroko's... egh, Problem. And you have an utterly gorgeous relationship.

OR, at the very least, actually do something with her obsessive nature! Tell a real story with it. I literally went through a similar (not sexual) thing in real life, and I have told the story of how I overcame it. I would ADORE seeing Kuroko remain problematic, but then grow past it, and learn to respect Misaka fully.

But if noooot... there's always the option to just get rid of it entirely because holy shit is Kuroko's admiration and trust in Misaka beautiful. The way Kuroko lays down her life for her, appears in an instant to aid her, forces herself not to pester her for days and weeks despite agonizing over whether Misaka is okay... The way she takes pride and comfort in doing those things for her, how she calls out her name lovingly while fighting for her. It touches my heart so much, man.

And Misaka, despite how often Kuroko annoys her, knows she can rely on her and be vulnerable around her. She values Kuroko's thoughts and cares how she feels about her, past all that Level 5 "Ace of Tokiwadai" stuff. She's protective of all her friends, of course, but I always imagine that she holds herself double responsible for Kuroko's safety. She's who she thinks of first, every time. Misaka recognizes when Kuroko is pushing herself too hard, and she softens in such a genuine, nurturing way to assure her that she can rest easy.

The level of dedication these two have for each other is wonderful, and how could I not ship them?

—–- Aizawa + Toshinori (My Hero Academia): Honestly, I like a lot of MHA ships, but this was my first OTP for that series, and it's simply because despite having a very prickly start, their relationship grows into this very gentle mutual respect and protectiveness of one another, and it's just... so cute! And it hurts me so much.

I've read a lot of fics, written a lot of roleplays, seen a lot of art, and watched a lot of AMVs. I feel such a deep heart-throbbing when I see them together. Caring, protecting, sacrificing, mourning, fighting, regretting, saving, comforting....

Sometimes I don't even know how to describe it, but I have cried over these two so many times. I want them to be happy. I want to see them suffer on the way there. I want them to recognize their own inner demons when they look into the other's eyes, and then commit to being better because of each other. I've seen them through every AU I could think of within—god, however many years I was in love with them. And I can still remember why.

—–- Rouxls Kaard + Spade King (Deltarune): So I find both of these characters unfairly attractive in many fanarts, and they are one of my favorite mutually toxic relationships.

I credit one of my friends and his amazing unfinished series about them for the way I now envision them and how they interact. Spade could likely be called abusive simply due to his violent nature and power over Rouxls (both physical and social), but Rouxls is a manipulative, lying little weasel who is using Spade as much as Spade is using him.

Neither one of them have a damn clue how to treat another person right, though they both try and succeed (more often than not) with Lancer. Perhaps it's his innocence in all this, but unlike their terrible, broken relationship with each other, their relationships with Lancer are actually strong and outwardly loving.

Spade isn't nearly as aggressive with him as everyone else, he does what he thinks will make his son happy, and while he may sometimes be clipped, he isn't dismissive. Meanwhile, Rouxls tells himself Lancer is not his son and shouldn't be his responsibility, but dammit he loves the kid anyway! Lancer's smile brightens his day, and Rouxls will even risk getting himself in trouble with the king in order to give Lancer happiness. He puts off his own wants for him, does what he can to comfort him when he's sad, and frets QUITE heavily about his safety (albeit that one has a double-motive—obviously the king would kill his dumb ass if Lancer got hurt under his watch, but that's beside the point, he sayeth!)

Anyway yeah, Dad and Lesser Dad plz.

I can't overstate how much I love seeing fiction depict complex, nuanced relationships with plenty of toxic elements to examine. It's a way to relate some of their traits to my past mistakes, or even my current flaws. It helps me understand myself better. Also it's hot! x3

And really wholesome if the characters manage to actually improve themselves and start showing real affection and care for each other.

Last Song:

Gomenne Gomenne by Kikuo (My favorite versions are sung by Teto and Kyo V3)

Currently Reading:

Started reading Singed-centric fan fiction, including an adorable fic where Powder shows him her Minecraft world, a dark one where he tortures a test subject, and a delightfully tense one where Silco demands to be burned.

Last Movie:

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

It was actually a genuinely awesome time and I didn't expect it to keep my attention like it did. Great mix of funny and serious! I enjoyed it a lot!

Craving:

Need Singed torture fics or roleplays,,,, I'm offering up my Kib for the slaughter lmao.
