you act like your fandom isn't responsible for shitty racist behavior towards irls liiiike dont be a hypocrite pointing fingers at everyone except your own ilk lmfao
I was initially going to write a snarky response, but upon reflection you sound pretty young and I don't want to get into a pissing contest with someone who is likely a minor. Instead, I'm going to share my philosophy on how I engage with fandom and explain why it doesn't make sense for you to come to my ask box and demand that I answer for people who I don't even know.
My approach to fandom is entirely hedonistic. 1) Fandom is not, and never will be, my personal milieu for activism, and 2) I'm not responsible for the behaviour of people who happen to share my preference in a ship; I can only control what I do.
On 1), I come to fandom for escapism and indulgence, and these two qualities of fandom are completely incompatible with my approach to activism. Activism must be rooted in the real world and often demands doing things you don't want to do. That's like...the polar opposite of what I want to do on Tumblr.com.
Sometimes I incorporate analysis of oppression and justice in my fandom discussions because I find them interesting, but that's still about me and my enjoyment, not about oppression and injustice in general. A lot of my life has been dedicated to structural injustices, whether as topics of study or as systemic forces to organize against (more accurately, I spent most of my adult years striving to combine the academic and the practical facets), so obviously they crop up in my discussions, but my engagement in fandom has never been about activism and I've been quite clear about that. For example, I may talk about decolonization in the context of ATLA, but I harbour no delusions that my salty complaints about Bryke are, in any way, relevant to furthering the decolonial project.
On 2), notice that in my response to your last ask, I never claimed the entire Zutara fandom only consists of people who never did anything wrong. I only claimed that I, personally, strive to behave like a reasonably decent person in my fandom interactions. Fandoms consist of literally thousands of people, if not tens of thousands, so of course people in my (and yours, and everyone's) fandom are capable of shitty behaviour -- but like I said before, I'm not the fandom police. It's not a role I'm interested in taking on, nor one I'm arrogant enough to think I should. I don't try to be a role model at the club or at the grocery store; in a similar vein, I'm not facilitating or curating or shepherding the Zutara fandom. I just hang out here, same as everyone else, and I'm not going to insult my followers & my peers' intelligence by saying "PSA: did you know it's not okay to say shitty and racist things to people?"
My responsibilities in fandom extend to following basic fandom etiquette and interacting with posts and people that don't contradict my values. I sometimes repost salty things about specific ships, or occasionally I'll interact with Zutara antis who come to me, because salt can be fun in moderate doses plus I have post-COVID POTS so I need a lot of salt anyway. Every time I have interacted with a hostile Ka/taang shipper, it has been because they came to my post, my blog, or my tags to stir up shit. Even so, I'd never go to a Ka/taang blogger and expect them to do something. I have, btw, received messages asking me to highlight/expose certain Ka/taang shippers for their politics or things they've said, and I don't publish those either, so there's not a whole lot of fingerpointing going on here in general.
I'm going to stop responding to your asks, but I hope you can reflect on what exactly you are trying to get out of fandom, and what kind of behaviour you think is productive and generative for you. I'm not saying everyone should follow my personal fandom engagement philosophy, but I am saying you can't impose your philosophy onto me.

Get To Know You - Tag Game
Thank you for the tag @crosshairs-dumb-pimp-gf!<3
Any eating utensil preferences? — Just a spoon and fork, though occasionally I like using chopsticks. It all depends on what kind of food I'm eating.
A genre of music you love? — I don't think I have a singular/only genre that I love, but I definitely love listening to musicals, movie/series soundtracks, indie/alt rock, and pop. If it scratches the itch in my brain, then I'm gonna listen to it religiously for sure. If I'm gonna be specific, aka what artists/musicals, then I usually listen to MICO, Paramore, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, The Offspring, EPIC: The Musical, Hamilton, Ado, Pitbull, Rihanna, Coldplay, Wallows, and Chase Atlantic 🙂↕️
A type of seasoning/condiment that would make anything edible for you? — Kimchi, if it counts as a condiment. But any type of seasoning with a kick of spice or saltiness is enough for me.
Pens or pencils? What kind? — I like both as long as they make thick lines! So, pretty much anything 0.7 or 1.0 is a big yes to me.
What's your weirdest/most interesting hobby? — I don't think I have any hobbies that seem weird or interesting, but the only thing I can think of is that I do journalism (well, DID journalism when I was in elementary to high school). I did radio broadcasting, news writing, and then editorial writing!
Favorite real person that you don't personally know? — Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac, and Hayden Christensen.
How many alarms do you have set? — 4 alarms that are 30 minutes apart, ranging from 4:30 am to 6:00 am. I'm usually up before/during the first alarm. They're not currently in use though since school's over MWHAHAHA
Do you have any pets? Do you want some? — I have a dog named Chewie!
Favorite drink, alcoholic or non? — Lemonade and Yakult, but if it's an alcoholic drink, then I'll go with Soju.
Favorite shoes? — I dress kinda lazy and boy-ish most of the time, so I usually just wear any of my sneakers, Birks with socks, or Doc Martens.
Favorite smell? — Anything that smells fresh and doesn't have an insanely strong scent… and isn't vanilla, coconut, or "birthday cake".
How do you feel about bugs and spiders? ��� Butterflies and moths? BIG NO (anything that flies crazy is a massive hell nah to me). The only spiders I can tolerate are jumping spiders since I find them cute.
Outdoors or indoors? — I'm fine with either, but I usually spend my days indoors since there isn't much to do where I live, it's pretty boring… sigh
Sunny or rainy? — RAINY 100%, I'm so tired of the hot Philippine weather, I'd do anything to have some cold/chilly climate constantly.
Where would you really like to visit? — Italy is at the top of the list!! But I'd love to just travel anywhere in the world.
Are you a "people person"? — Sort of? I'm a little shy meeting and talking to new people, but I'm definitely able to match energy quickly as long as they aren't the type to think that being "nonchalant/edgy" or being overly mean is cool 🥀🥀🥀
At what temperature do you keep your home (or would if you could?) — Uhm, I don't use a thermostat in the house, but I have the air conditioning in my room set to 16°C, but even then it feels like it's around 20-30°C 💀.
NPT, no clue if y'all did this already, but I'm tagging anyways 😭: @ladyazura19 @jetii @ghostymarni @lonewolflupe @orangez3st @returnofthepineapple @cyaretra @bigbootyclencher @nika6q @wrenkenstein and anyone else who'd like to do this as well c:

; where you go, i go
“Just because he is my best friend, it doesn't mean I'm gonna listen to him all the time.”
“You never listen to anyone, Barty. You just act like it. Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore,” He put his glass down right next to his knee and squeezed the bridge of his nose.
“It isn't?” Barty asked, there was something in his voice. It wasn't a cocky reply, it was genuine.
Regulus slowly turned to him, knees touching Barty’s. He could cut the tension with a knife, he could climb on his lap and settle there too. There were many choices he could make.
He slowly raised his hand and touched Barty’s cheek, he could feel his stubble poking his skin but he didn't care, he slowly caressed his cheek and Barty closed his eyes, slowly melting under Regulus’ touch.
“I missed you,” Barty whispered, eyes still closed.
Regulus trailed his thumb under his eye, he was being careful as if he was touching something that could break any minute. There was nothing that could break Barty, not even Regulus. He was sure of it, but Barty didn't seem to acknowledge that.
“Did you, now?”

hello, sorry it's me again, you've basically become my comfort blog-
I was on reddit and out of curiosity typed in "Circe rant" because idk, I was feeling salty about the book.
I saw a post that had some legitimately good reasons and indicated that this is all just the person's opinion.
But when I checked the replies everyone was just disagreeing with them and being very rude?
Like, they complained about how the book doesn't feel feministic because Circe isn't that likable of a character? And then half the replies were "Uhh she's supposed to be morally gray" "I disagree, Madeline told her story very well." "What gave you the impression this book was supposed to be feministic??"
(Disregarding half the reviews on the cover are calling it a "great feministic piece")
I was kinda pissed so I went to post my own thought about why I really dislike Miller's take on Circe. And 80 present of the replies were just flaming me-
Some guy said people can interpret her anyway they want because she's not real. Someone said I should be more humble and that I just don't like Circe as a character (which is not true). And so on.
Something I've seen is that the Circe book fans are so sensitive good god- Whenever someone criticizes their book they go full defensive mode. Trying to reason with you when most of the time you're the one who actually knows more about the actual character-
They act like all of our concerns on the book actually have a reason and make sense? Honestly, props to us for being bold enough to voice our concerns on a book that basically has a cult following-
Again, really sorry for coming here to bother you. I'm just salty and I genuinely really like your takes
That's really sweet that you feel safe and comfy on my blog. That's what I'm trying to be. Thank you 🥹
You're not bothering me <3 I can understand being salty about the book. It makes me salty too. It's why it's honestly good to block the tags and avoid most of that stuff. Make friends and find the community that actually understand what actually went down in the Odyssey and what happened to Odysseus. There are plenty on here! :D Also quite a few who have really neat and fun stuff about Odyssey Circe while still being respectful of Odysseus!
I don't recommend trying to fight with these folks. It's frustrating but they're not gonna change their mind. As they don't want to. Inform and educate sometimes especially if people ask but don't waste so much energy on it. It's not good for you. It's okay to vent and rant but I don't recommend searching it out. <3 You'll just stress yourself out :D
I think the book is almost like, the most "basic angry feminist shlock in a bland and easy to consume can for pre-teens" book, you know? And that's why so many people cling to it. I can see SOME people taking comfort in the anger maybe?? But idk. Anyways it has so many classic "YA shit". Girlboss who has "no flaws and can do no wrong" who actually isn't a very nice person (what's with so many characters being so mean and moody???), the mean, MEAN men who are just soooo awful to her and try to push her down. The other women who are just slutty and so dumb. They don't get it. etc. etc.
I think it's a lot of younger fans who are JUST starting to see a lot of "adult shit" and it's scary so it's nice to have...idk this?? I don't understand it. As I was never really one to be into that or really even behave that way. Odysseus is much relatable and hopeful as insane as that is.

Why I hate Jack Krauser for all the right reasons
Okay, so before I get lynched by someone; this is just my opinion and thoughts, I haven't played much of the original and so I'm solely going off the remake here. [I'm sorry in advance if I end up upsetting anyone. I'd be more than happy to hear other's thoughts on the topic of Krauser.] I wanna start with the obvious reason why. Killing off one of my favourites, Luis Serra. [Listen, I know it was different in the original RE4 where it was Saddler instead but let me be salty for a moment.] Luis had the Amber, he had his ticket out. He could've escaped with Ada yet helped Leon and Ashley at the same time (I know he technically still does help even after he dies by giving the lab key) But then Krauser had to come in, kill the beloved Spaniard to retrieve the Amber and proceeded to duel Leon with the intention of killing him. Just the pure malice in his voice when he says the word "Rookie". It's enough to practically send a chill. And then when Leon had originally reached for his gun and Krauser puts the same knife he killed Luis with to Leon's throat. The speed at which he moves at is terrifying. I know there's the counterargument of Krauser being controlled by the Plaga. But I still wanna go over the boss fight Krauser was Leon's mentor, that is pretty common knowledge. But just the build up to the fight. The dog tags that were left on display and the photo of rookie Leon with the words "I'M WAITING". Like, he didn't need to do that. But he did anyway.

And then the back and forth between them before the actual fight. Leon tries to talk sense into Krauser, but it's evident that Krauser was already too far gone. That is a shell of who he once was, and now he just wants to end Leon. Also the way his body mutates during the boss fight really puts the final nail in the coffin. The line "Dead? No, I've been reborn..." really shows just how lost the actual Krauser is inside that body. Now it was just a husk of a man, a mindless mutant that's set out to kill.
And by the end, when Leon hold Krauser's knife, he sees a reflection of himself in it. Unlike earlier when in that one sequence after Verdugo it was Krauser's reflection looking right back at Leon. It really just reflects for a moment as to what had occurred. Leon had defeated his mentor, the very person who had trained him to be the agent he was today. I know this isn't normally the type of stuff I post and this is just a rant that could've been summed up with "I don't like Krauser because he killed Luis :(" and me being salty about it. But I do see the appeal! I can see why people like him. Hell, I think he is a pretty damn good rival to Leon due to both their past together and how Krauser matches his skill and strength level (I know, he used to be his mentor, no shit). [Though I don't see why some people ship them. That's just not my thing.} Anyways, if you read all of that: I'm sorry. Why? It felt like I just pointed to the obvious things that happened in game with some parts probably being overlooked. Okay rant over. Have a nice rest of your time awake.

Being a Frye defender hurts so much, I get ya. My first splatfest win was Splatoween, and I'm pretty happy that Shiver didn't win this time but it kinda sucks that Frye can't win. My friend and I were screaming in the school yard when team handshake won because... Shiver man, she has won so many times it isn't fair. And I think Frye's first win was because she has the advantage of "general opinion" because spicy and sour aren't the popular preferences in general. Imagine if either Shiver or Big Man got the "Salty" option then Frye's probably gonna lose too.
I get ya, bud. I get ya... We're on the same boat floating on our river of blood-sweat-and-tears of Splatoon players. I'mnot motivated to play Splatoon again, yes I still fixate on the manga but I mostly play cookie run these days.
I was convinced fustbump would win! Yeah, we had mirror matches, but shiver always won cuz if that anyway, and then...we didn't?
In Japan they got a sweep, so I don't even know what we are doing wrong anymore, I just want to have fun, I want to be silly, I want to enjoy my time playing splatoon, I don't want to feel stressed during splatfest, anxiously going to bed after reset and dreading opening my phone cuz I know my friends are going to update me on who won, and then seeing shiver won again and going to school on a bad mood, I hate this cycle!
I've reached a point of just wishing big man wins more, just so shiver stops winning
I don't wanna be right, but after seeing the the intro dialogue of Shiver, I just gotta except she'll win...again
My sister joked that "watch Frye constantly loose but then win the final fest as a final fuck you", and it'd be funny but man, this is sorta still a shitty situation, but at this point, I'll take it 😭😭😭
Cuz like "Oh it's family, family will totally win!"
But then we look back at first bump and 😐
We get the least amount of votes we loose but shiver wins
We get the most amount of votes but still loose yet shiver wins
Yeah, anything can happen really and I am I'm constant stress about it, imma rant on my tumblr during splatfest, probably, but I won't look into the tag, I am already stressed as is with school

Finally rereading The Outsiders like I said I would. I think I'll probably be doing a chapter a day, even though it's short enough that I could probably bust it out in one or two sittings. I'm really prone to burnout and I am trying to write a bit each day and I have a job to work and adult tasks to do and such, so a chapter sounds like a good goal with that considered.
Also, I'm sick as a fucking dog while reading this first chapter. Not relevant, just a little fun fact.
Anyway, have my thoughts while I read it!!
The Outsiders Reread : Chapter One Notes
less than a page in and I'm already tired of Ponyboy being Not Like The Other Girls
he's 14, that's positive, I should not be able to stomach a well-written 14 year old on account of them acting very 14, but also shut the fuck up
"yeah, I read books, unlike EVERYONE ELSE" go to hell
not to intentionally misread and water down a character, but Ponyboy saying "but sometimes I just don't use my head" is literally all you need to fucking know. that's it, that's the book
we get it, Pony, you come from a very hot family, yall are all conventionally attractive. paragraphs, ffs
also, I love that Soda doesn't drink. that he has a drunk on life attitude. could absolutely never be me, love that for him, unfortunately I fw Two-Bit's vibes with alcohol a bit more--
and the fact that Soda is the only one that can tease Darry.
there isn't a single positive thing said about Dallas besides "I didn't like him, but he was smart and you had to respect him." but frfr he's so great.
but if I met any of these fuckers irl Soda is the only one that I'd have a chance in hell at not hating. and that's only because he seems like he'd be enough of an emotionally/socially intelligent people-pleaser to actively try to get someone to like him, lol.
kinda salty about Johnny being called the gangs pet, wtf Ponyboy. not like he's one person's main reason to live, is SUCH fucking ride or die, later kills a man for Pony. but yeah, he's a pet. he tags along. what the fuck ever, man. if anything, Ponyboy (you know, the person that's mainly part of the gang bc he tags along with his older brothers, the BABY of the group, the quiet & sensitive one that doesn't have a single braincell outside of pure booksmarts) is the pet. like, sure, Johnny has trauma and is really quiet, but let's be so fr right now.
despite what is said in the book (bc it's Ponyboy's pov so we only get his perspective, obviously) I'm sure Darry gets after Soda too.
also, oldest children that become parental figures in some degree are allowed to be mean to their baby siblings. it's our right. as a 20-something year old with a young teen baby brother with common sense in the negatives, I am very biased in saying that Darry is always objectively 100% correct in every situation ever (heavily exaggerating, I just relate a lot).
forever mad that we don't get more Sylvia!!! my most random fav!!! so much love to her!!! she's basically an oc with how little we get of her and how many headcanons I have, I don't even really like the main fanon version of her either, but GOD she's my girl fr
NO BECAUSE WHEN I WAS 14 IF SOMEONE PULLED THEIR OWN KNIFE TO DO A DISSECTION THE WAY MY TONGUE WOULD BE DOWN THEIR THROAT. Ponyboy, babygirl, you did NOT deserve for that girl to hate on you like that. RUDE.
"Dallas deserves everything he gets, and should get worse, if you want the truth." agreed, that's my though process as I'm making the nastiest headcanons for him. my life's goal is to make this man suffer or make him into a loser, and all my hcs do both
breaks my heart so much how Ponyboy talks about Darry, leave my boy ALONE, dude!!!
my headcanons for Darry are usually the exact opposite of my hcs for Dally, I just want this guy to have the very best ong. I'll get so unrealistic with it too, bitch, YES I'll give you an absolutely stunning sugar mommy, babe!! just stop being stressed and stop having bad things happen for a few minutes!!! I almost struggle making in character, good headcanons for him because I just want to give him fluff and filler only and nothing else--

Thai BL Favorites List
@recentadultburnout tagged me ages ago, and i finally got around to answering 🙈 thank you for tagging me 🥰
Favorite Thai BL:
kinnporsche, hands down. no competition there. second place is more difficult to determine, however... if be my favorite sticks the landing on friday, it might win out against moonlight chicken for me, which was firmly in second place until bmf started airing 👀
Current Obsession:
be my favorite. laws of attraction. only friends. (does watching the trailer several times a day count as an obsession even though the series hasn't actually aired yet?? i think so)
Favorite Pairing:
oh boy. that's a difficult one. i'm inclined to say vegaspete. other s-tier pairings: akkayan (not counting the our skyy 2 episode 😫), guncher (ESPECIALLY counting the our skyy 2 episode 😏), seanwhite, tiwpor, palmnueng, pisaengkawi. if we're talking non-canon pairings then definitely khathachan and runzero (yes, zero had less than a minute of screen time. yes, i want him and run to fuck nasty. shut up.)
Most Underrated Actor:
book kasidet. ever since i watched abaab i've been like, why the hell are people sleeping on this guy?? he's absolutely fantastic and i am hoping and manifesting that only friends is going to be his big break-through. he's going to to be acting opposite of heavy hitters like first and khaotung, and i believe with all my heart that he's going to hold his own AND THEN SOME. my biggest wish for only friends is an emotional firstbook scene because i truly believe they'll be able to make magic together.
now, if this category were most underused actor, i'd say nodt nutthasid. GIVE MY BOY SOME ACTING ROLES!!!
Favorite Character:
oh. vegas kp? kawi bmf? cher abaab? gun msp? por msp? tiw msp? tinn msp? sound msp? every one of the msp kids??? idk
Favorite Side Character:
por msp. again lmao. he's my son and i love him.
Favorite Scene in a BL:
moonlight chicken episode 5 part 1/4, alan and wen at home before and after their breakup. i regularly rewatch that scene, it's one of THE absolute all-time highlights of television for me.
Favorite Line in a BL:
"love for our bodies, love for our minds." (bmf episode 8)
this line gave me fucking therapy. if i'm lucky, one day i will be able to put into words just what this line means to me.
Most Anticipated BL:
only friends of course. but i'm also looking forward to dangerous romance, i feel you linger in the air and man suang. i'm just hoping the movie's going to be available in europe in some way shape or form 🥺🙏
Healthiest Relationship in a BL:
this is a very weird category. why does a fictional relationship even need to be "healthy"? isn't it more important to be fun to watch? (my personal "most fun to watch" award goes to kinn and porsche.) anyway, i'd say tinngun msp.
Most Toxic Relationship in a BL:
third and khai on theory of love. also pat and jeng on step by step. and yes, i'm still salty about both of those.
Guilty Pleasure Series:
i don't feel guilty about pleasure, i'm not catholic. that said it's definitely kinnporsche 😂😂
i'm tagging @burnsuncomet and @sparklyeyedhimbo 😘💖✨

I'm not going to put the tags I'm reacting to in here because I don't want anyone to feel called out, that's not the point of what I'm saying, but I also think AC3 has a bit more nuance than is perhaps allowed for.
Even the writers felt the way they handled AC3 was a mistake. I heard this idea in a fan podcast interview with one of the writers (I'm so sorry, I can't remember exactly who, possibly it was Alex Hutchinson because I think he was the lead for 3?), and that they either should have made the game entirely about Haytham or entirely about Connor, but not both. And that writer is correct. While it does come down to Ubi making the final decision on which games get greenlit and which don't, and they're definitely not as likely to say yes to another long family saga with "unproven" characters, especially when they've just come off a long family saga and fans are possibly saying they want something different or they suspect fans want something different, I can at least sort of understand why they didn't go the obvious route, which was one game per Kenway. I'm not sure when work on Black Flag was started, but that may not have really been a thing yet, either.
To be fair, they should have trusted their writers more, and quite frankly, their fans, too. It's hard to know which characters are going to take off, but again, having that trust in your team helps instill confidence in audiences and players. You see this all the time with films and television, too.
I've always felt it was rather unfair that Ezio got three games to himself, whereas an entire family got two altogether. Now, this is down to personal preference, but to me Ezio isn't nearly as compelling a character as any one of the Kenways are, not even close. If I could go back and magically make Ubi do what I think is best, you can bet Haytham and Connor would get their own games. Would it work? Who knows? But at least each character would have been given the same time and space to develop as even one another, much less someone like Ezio.
The cuts in AC3 are really, really bad. Like, really bad. And even with that, the game is still so compelling and Haytham and Connor, two of my favourites of all the games, are still pretty well fleshed out and interesting in their own ways. But imagine if they could have been given the space to flourish like Edward (who, of course, didn't come until later, but still). Or even like Ezio.
Plus, it feels a little dirty to force the indigenous character to share a game with a man who is essentially his coloniser father. But all of that could have been explored, too! One thing I really am salty about for AC3 is how they dealt with Achilles, for lots of reasons I won't get into here. If nothing else, I wanted very desperately to know the sorts of things he was telling Connor about Haytham, because even though Rogue wasn't a thing yet, he clearly, from the dialogue, knew who Haytham was and who he was to Connor. But there's never a word about it, you're just meant to infer that Connor told him at some point or Achilles knew anyway.
So, yes, it's a pretty terrible decision all around to have made AC3 a single game for two characters, but from a certain point of view, I can understand it as a decision, even if I don't agree with it; it's a little unfair to lay everything at Ubi's door when even the writers admit they wish they'd handled it differently.
Ubi is pretty bad, but they're definitely not the most evil thing in gaming.
That's probably EA. Or maybe ActivisionBlizzard.
i do love assassin’s creed 3 but GOSH i wish it didn’t rob us of some story points…
like i know we see connor reading haytham’s journal at the beginning, but i wish we’d gotten MORE of a reaction out of him when he realized the head Templar was his father.
Likewise I know Haytham was able to put things together and figure out Connor was his son before they properly speak for the first time, but like…I wish we’d seen that realization. I wish we’d seen how Haytham initially reacted to that. How Haytham’s goonies reacted.
They give us this juicy juicy central conflict of Connor fighting against his own father and then they don’t…give us these moments. And it’s frustrating because i LOVE Connor. He’s one of my favorite assassins. But he’s got this Shakespearean level conflict going on and the game doesn’t dig into it the way it should.

after seeing demo screens for n and a’s route....... i’m toying with the idea of making two more detectives
#just gonna ramble in the tags because i spent like 2 hours scrolling through fcs and name sites#so for n i'm thinking det. ramona guerrero#she's an art school dropout who isn't really salty about the fact – she just goes with the flow and doesn't get bothered easy#so being with n is another one of those natural things bc she just wants to see where it goes#don't really have much for her other than the fact that she's the chillest person alive (i think that's gonna play into the demo#because as we've all seen nate gets really anxious and freaks out in the demo so i think that might actually freak ramona out?#might even turn her off of n for a bit :/ also meant to say n in the previous tag JSDFKJSDF still deciding b/w nate and nat#and for a (leaning towards ava) i've actually got quite a few options#i know i want her last name to be reyez bc i think det. reyez rolls off the tongue#but with first names i'm between dahlia / lydia / valeria / yara bc i think they're all pretty#i was leaning more towards ava because i thought about how delicious a's route would be if the det. is questioning?#the idea's been swirling around my brain for a while now and i think it'd be such a good dynamic#like imagine an a-mancing detective who's still unsure ab their sexuality/closeted and their attraction to a has made it more complicated?#not just sex !!! i'm thinking my det. will be questioning her feelings constantly because... she's never had feelings for a woman before#and she gets a hot and cold attitude from a so frequently that she thinks she's making up her feelings#and if i end up doing an adam route ........ idk man SKJDFKSDJK#anyways if you read this far just know i am virtually smooching you and i never thought i'd have four detectives but here i am#last demo related post before i go to bed because i'm severely sleep deprived and will be mia tomorrow#jade.txt

Hey I saw that your requests are open so, remember your genshin impact x reader, where the reader was very smol :X I have been recently Been simping intensely for ayato. Could you maybe make a part 2 where ayato is present? I would love to see that happen!
Inazuma Daycare [Baby Male Genshin]

Characters: Itto, Ayato, Thoma, Kazuha, Gorou
Synopsis: A supposed demon, a Yashiro Commissioner, a former criminal, a foreign servant and the General of Watatsumi…all under the age of six. Since it can’t be helped, you must do everything for them.
Tags: gn reader, platonic love, children
(A/n): When someone request the child series, it's free real estate *proceeds to insert the rest of the boys*
Arataki Itto
The loud kid who speaks before raising his hand. The kid who brings trading cards and aggressively shows off how poggers his legendary collections are worth MILLIONS (they're not). The kid who sucks the life energy out of your body.
"Teacher! Pick me, pick me!"
But you just can't hate him.
Itto would undoubtedly still be the tallest. His horns were like little bumps, barely poking out. He's not particularly savvy with his face painting skills yet, which you must fix it up for him after he got into a mess as always.
"I wanna use the colour red. Make it streak down like tears of blood on my face! Oh man, I'm going to look so cool!"
Okay Itto, now sit properly or this marker is going across your nose.
During art time, he likes to create his own version of 'Teyvat Creatures'. You had an earful of them: King of Hiligalaticalspectadogchurls and Evil Beans (the main villain of his hand-made manga by the way). Colours outside of the lines too. Very proud of his work. Sells them for 50 mora each.
Lunch time was the messiest for him. He can't hold his utensils and prefers to use bare hands.
The reason why Itto has such good beatboxing skills was that he practiced at a young age. Though he ends up spitting everywhere instead. You hope that he'll get better as soon as possible.
Voice cracks. You can hear him across the playground field.
But no matter how rowdy he is, Itto gets along with everybody and never leaves them feel left out. You find him inviting little children in the corner to a game of tag during recess. Sadly, he still ends up being last place in these games. Might pout. Might get salty. Might cry.
Itto refuses to agree that he is a crybaby. He runs a lot outside and would end up scraping his knee when too careless. You remember fixing a wound for him, his face would be all scrunched up as tears were piling up. He'll just keep repeating the same phrases: "this is nothing"/ "I'm a man and men don't cry".
You laughed, "Yes, indeed you are."
Kamisato Ayato
The kid whose parents fund your entire business. The popular trustfundkid. The kid way too mature for his age. Ayato holds tight to his refined image that he may come off a bit vain. Why is he even in your daycare anyways?
The first thing he does when entering you classroom was to mutter, "So this is where the donations went."
"Excuse you not everyone can afford high-quality furniture like you and for the record, I bought them myself."
When Thoma isn't available you'll be his substitute. It's unbelievable how rich the Kamisatos are. Ayato couldn't even fasten a sash knot and expected you to put on his kimono the moment he outstretched his hands.
You found a hidden bottle of Bubble Tea which of course, you confiscated. No desserts before lunchtime, Young Master.
Despite his rather lavish upbringing, you often found Ayato being picked up by his servants rather than his parents. His family loved him very much, but they were obviously too busy to attend their son's needs all the time. Since then, you saw him in a different light.
Thus when indoor recess was finished, you made Ayato in charge of putting the toys back into the toybox.
Thoma was about to help, that is, until you interjected faster than the Shogun's lightning.
This would be the first step to helping the young boy connect with his fellow classmates. He didn't have to be treated on a pedestal, he was an equal, a child who needed your attention more than anything. Initially, Ayato felt bothered by the tasks you gave to someone like him but those tasks ended up bringing the two of you closer.
For instance, serving the meals. Ayato genuinely liked your cooking much to your surprise. He was often served the best and healthiest dishes with the best ingredients but they lacked the cozy hearth-like feeling that you had. He said it tasted simple, yet honest.
Enjoys his hand being held when you both cross the street. Politely asks if he could keep holding onto you. “I like it when you hold me, teacher.” It's safe to say that the kid has grown attached, albeit clingy. Next thing you find yourself carrying him like a baby.
You will never know that Ayato intentionally finds excuses to follow you around. He'll get jealous when his classmates, even Thoma, steal your attention. And when you scold him for it, he'll get sad. But don't be fooled! They might just be puppy eyes.
Thoma
The kid every teacher- no, every MOTHER would dream to have. (Totally 100% a mommy's boy). He's got that vibe to attract grandmas and aunties of all sorts. Thoma deserves all the stickers and he always ends up claiming his sticker prizes first, for being such a good boy. In fact, he is the only kid that eats everything you serve, even the vegetables.
Give him the head pats, give him ALL the head pats (Ayato stares menacingly from the corner). "Whos a good boy? Yes you are, yes yoo are Thoma uuu!!"
In contrast to his master, Thoma was an appreciative, humble and attentive little boy. You found him glued to Ayato's side, performing duties such as carrying his luggage, smiling through the obvious heavy lifting. You feared that he was threatened and sold into child slavery.
Kid!Thoma would definitely be a ship figurine junkie. He'd bring in a new model everyday and held it tightly in his tiny, fat, little hands. It's so endearing to see him during indoor recess, when he drags his toy across the floor, making splattering sounds with his mouth.
"Sshhhhhhwishhhhhh, pow! Bam. Babababababbaammbam!!" he says while bumping two boats together in battle.
Thoma, boats can't shoot elements from their canons.
In art sessions, he drew you a picture of him and you together eating ?dango? (he tried his best, okay?), "This is for you teacher, because I love you soooo much!" HNNNNGG
*Clutching chest and dies of heart failure*
When there would be quarrels among the other kids (Oh the usual, Itto whining over how Sara took his favourite cup), he's the first to call you over. "Teacher said no more fighting, we have to be nice to each other!"
He's such a sweetheart. Thoma would pull in a stool and reach to sprinkle food into the fishtank before eating his lunch. He said he felts bad that the fish had to watch everyone eat while they wait for their turn :(
"Good job Thoma, here's your seventh sticker for the day."
Kaedehara Kazuha
The toddler 1/2
You recalled the day when Mister Tomo dropped off Kazuha on his in daycare for the first and he'd timidly clung to his pants while hiding from behind. He's a shy little one, still is. You had to do a little coaxing otherwise Mister Tomo would have been late for work and stayed in your school for the rest of the evening.
However when Mister Tomo managed to sneak out without Kazuha noticing, he started to cry immediately. It brought so much distress that Gorou felt like crying too. You had to carry him because if you didn't, Kazuha would have found some way and climb over the fence, chasing down the running figure.
It took a long time before Baby Kazuha became comfortable with you. He tends to be very sensitive, especially towards nature. You'd bring him to the school garden every once in a while to show him the flowers. He looked so cute when trying to grab a butterfly, twisting and turning in your arms.
Quiet reading time was when you spent most with the toddlers out of all the kids. Kazuha is the only one to take out a bunch of books but never go through all of them. He'd flip through a few pages before getting bored and moving on to the next. You found him to be an extremely fast learner when it comes to literate subjects.
The way his little smile stretches his chubby cheeks when he says a word out loud. That's it. That's the show.
Kazuha may be a toddler but he's old enough to walk and play with Itto and the other kids. The thing is, he never does. He prefers to quietly play in the sandbox with Gorou. It's a wonderful bonding experience for both of them. Since the day you taught Kazuha not to eat sand to draw shapes and build sandcastles, he couldn't pull away from it anymore. And if you did, he'll start whining.
Likes to play with the pet turtles. When I say play I mean he simply sits there and stares as they watch them slowly crawl on the floor. When Mister Tomo arrived to pick him up, Kazuha asked him whether they can have a turtle too.
Needless to say, he'll have no trouble coming to daycare anymore.
Gorou
The toddler 2/2
Juggling between Kazuha and Gorou was hard, especially when you had to shoo Itto away from petting his ears or prying Yae's hands from pulling his cheeks. He was often dropped off at daycare with a stuffed Shiba Inu in his arms, notably that it was his guardian and good luck charm. Everywhere he went, General Gorou Jr would follow him too.
Since he was still young, you also had to spoonfeed him his lunch. Ah but don't forget to feed General Gorou Jr! You would now be serving two small bowls as his stuffed toy took space on an empty seat. Most of the time it was just Gorou talking to his stuffed animal and you learned many things about his alter ego. From General Gorou Jr's birthday to the way that he liked his bread sliced up.
Gorou once placed his Shiba Inu against your cheek to mimic a dog kissing you indicating that General Gorou Jr appreciated all the work you've done. Totally not lowkey expecting a kiss in return.
It's funny how his dog sense would kick in and he would suddenly become shy about it. One of those moments was where he'll be digging the sand beside Kazuha's sandcastles and burying the shovels that were needed for the process. This would make Kazuha angry and they get into a fight over protecting/digging up the sandbox.
Then there were other moments when a ball would suddenly roll by (Yae) and it would distract him from whatever he was previously doing (ends up having his desserts stolen because no one was guarding it)
"Hehe, teacher did you know that Gorou sleeps while hugging his tail?"
See for yourself. When it was nap time, Gorou was the first one to fall asleep and the last one to wake up. He'd pull up his fluffy tail between his legs, nuzzling against the fur, dozing off into dreamland.

How insignificant we are as a species yet our little comforts are all we have. How one day all of this will be gone, maybe without a trace. Maybe someone will come after us. Maybe we're alone in the universe. Maybe we're not. Which is worse? How much is out there in the universe that I'll just never fucking see or hear of and how am I supposed to wake up everyday and go about my life despite knowing that. There's SO much on this planet alone and then the whole rest of the universe is out there. Why do I have to die far too soon never having known what's going to come in a 1000 years, never knowing what's out there or what's even here. I'm so tiny, we all are, there's isn't a reason. And it's scary but it's so free. Yeah, anyway, I'm going to the beach for vacation today

Can you do Silco with a s/o who is like always crying for the tiniest things?
I absolutely can.
Silco with a frequent crier s/o
Silco x gn!reader
Tags: Emotionally Constipated Silco, sfw, comfort
A/N: I am super unmotivated as of late so I'm about to force myself to write all of my requests because I need to kick myself into high gear. Enjoy (:
He's not used to strong emotions. Especially not emotions that involve...crying.
Silco is honestly not even sure how to start comforting someone. And that is so apparent when you two start dating.
Before you started seeing each other romantically, you usually held back your tears or excused yourself as a way to avoid being seen as weak by someone so powerful. You thought if Silco or his crew saw you crying, you'd be dealt with in one way or another.
Because you usually kept your weeping discreet or saved it up until later, Silco didn't entirely know what he was signing up for when you got together.
Even though he isn't sure what to do, he loves you, so he's gonna try his best.
And he has a daughter so he has some practice, even if comforting your child and comforting your partner are two very different situations.
He would most likely give you a key to his office or some other private room where you could go let your emotions out without everyone seeing you.
He'd try to be hands-off unless you asked for it because he doesn't know how you act when you're upset and he doesn't want to risk getting hurt or hurting you.
This is a secret between you, but there's a stuffed animal in one of his locked desk drawers that he sprays with his cologne so you can have it if he isn't around. Or if he is and you just want it anyway.
If you start to break down in public, depending on who all's around, he won't shy away from carrying you up to his office so he can just hold you for a bit until you calm down.
He's very hesitant with his touches. So even if he's already holding you, he'll mentally hype himself up before putting a hand in your hair or something because he isn't sure what you're cool with and he doesn't want to do anything you aren't okay with when you're already upset.
If anyone comments about your frequent waterworks, Silco will stare at them with a face that could probably kill if you gave it enough time.
Or he might just straight-up kill them if they have that much of a problem with it.
THE WAY THIS MAN WOULD WHISPER IN YOUR EAR WHILE CALMING YOU DOWN HOLY SHIT
If you fell asleep after crying, he'd just let you be, no matter where you are. In his lap or in his desk chair? No problem.
The only time he'll move you is if you fall asleep on the floor or something.
He gave you a key. A key to his office, if it ever got like this.
You raced up the wooden steps and down the darkened corridor towards your boyfriend's office. Your eyes stung. Stung with the salty mixture threatening to pour down your cheeks faster than the rain you heard hitting the large window on the other side of the door.
Your hands shook as you fumbled through the keys on your keyring, trying to find the golden key that fit the gap in the metal in front of you.
Once you produced the correct key, you swiftly unlocked the door and opened it. You stepped in, closed the door behind you, locked it, and ambled over to the throne that awaited you behind Silco's desk.
Tears began to cascade down your skin once you sat. Your sobs filled the expanse of the office. You picked out another key from the ring still white-knuckled in your palm and unlocked a deep drawer at the bottom left of Silco's desk.
A plush of a panther started up at you with plastic eyes. A quick motion withdrew the plush from the chamber and pressed it against your chest. The delicate fabric still smelled like your partner. You kicked the drawer closed and tucked your knees up under your chin.
As if planned, a pair of heavy footsteps creaked down the hall outside. A set of keys probably twice as extensive as your own jingled, and the large wooden door opened to reveal your partner, looking disheveled.
His eyes floated to your curled-up form as the door shut behind him, and his expression shifted to worry. He locked the door and rushed to you, stooping down to your eye level. You looked up at him with misted eyes.
He reached for your forearm, guiding you out of the armchair. He replaced you in the seat and pulled you into his lap, wrapping his arms around you securely.
"What's wrong, love?" He spoke in a low tone.
When answered with nothing but sniffles and shaky sobs, he hugged you tighter. His lips met your cheekbone three times before his cheek rested against your temple.
"It's okay, love. It's okay." He whispered reassuringly.

I just saw the new TMA2 designs and I fully agree ... they look very low quality. No offense to who designed them, but apart from (maybe) the last design, it doesn't look like anything I'd spend money on 🙈
The "I brought Magnus Back" Design isn't half bad tbh, except that the flower doesn't really make sense to anyone on my discord server. The best explanation we have is that it's a (bad) rendering of a Spider Lily.
Red ones seem to be associated with death and white ones with rebirth. There's an argument for flowers to be made re. the Bone Garden and the spider-meaning is obvious. But the Spider-Lily-meaning is far from it. They could easily have gone for a spiders' web or an eye or a coffin or anything else to do with Magnus. My only hope is that the flower will become relevant in TMA2, and therefore will make sense retrospectively.
but the other design... I just can't get over how awful it looks. I'm not criticising the use of Stockimages. That's what they're for. But the whole composition just looks so cheaply and quickly made. So many different colours in the writing, "cloth rustles" instead of "fabric rustles"... I think they tried going for a vintage horror film poster and just did it super badly. It's not good enough in a bad way to be ironic. It's just bad in my opinion.
Also I'm just incredibly salty about the fact that other shows get far less merch and the merch is also less well advertised.
Even if these designs are bad, at least they exist. Even if these designs are bad, at least the public is being made aware of them.
It all circles back around to RQ putting all their efforts into pushing TMA (which definitely deserves pushing, it's a great show), but neglecting all their other shows!!
So many people have commented on my posts / tagged them with something like "never even heard of RQG or STL" or "What is Trice Forgotten?" or "let's be honest, who even listened to those?" (I did. And so did dozens of other people. But can these commenters not see, that that is precisely the problem?)
Anyway, back to Merch:
Trice Forgotten only has four designs so far, all of them are on Teepublic, the Alestes' Crew design isn't on Redbubble, but the rest is.
Chapter and multiverse has five designs and they're all on both websites.
Both of these incredible shows have only gotten quite simplistic designs so far. Given the awful quality of the "TMA returns" shirt, I'm glad now?! I still wouldn't wear a UTBC or TARGE logo on my chest for personal/conviction reasons, but the TTCS logo is kinda cute, imo. The moustache is very hipster which I like for this.
Also I'm still eying the "Visit Galactonium" design as a poster. It would look fab next to my Tardis poster!
I was hoping for character-specific stuff for C&M, the way they did for RQG (let's not talk about the fact that the Cel design only came out after the show had ended and Cel had already been part of the party for years, or the fact that the other character designs are all out of date, or the fact that Brutor got the most designs what the fuck).

@thearcaneuniversity
I'd forgotten I'd even added those tags on my reblog of this lmao. I'm all for a discussion so long as it's respectful (which it has been, so no worries there).
I definitely do agree that a lot of his art stuff is a bit of a stretch. That date with Ziara and his first time meeting Thrass at the Mitth family dinner for the new adoptees were definitely times where us as readers and Thrawn, Thrass, and Ziara had no clue how to either explain or comprehend it. Given Borika's sky-walking abilities, I don't fully believe Thrawn isn't at least a little bit Force sensitive. He has that "you're just going to have to trust me, I can't explain it but I know it'll work" vibe that a lot of Jedi have (that I've seen, anyway) and it's the only thing I can think of right now other than perhaps struggling to put his analysis into words (which is understandable).
On the Gary Stu comment: Fandom does portray him as this, but there's also a lot of work that doesn't (and seeing as I've only just gotten back into this side of Star Wars after 3 years, it's probably changed a lot since I last went deep into the ao3 tags). I do think it's alright for him to be the best of the best seeing as he is. But he can't be the best of the best if his team isn't willing to trust and work with him. He can have the best battle plan in the galaxy, but it's not going to work if people can't do their jobs properly. Imo he's put the work in to become the best at what he does because he understands that he has to be if he wants to protect his people from the Grysks. He knows he has to be the best asset and will attempt to raise his subordinates to that same level of usefulness so that those plans can work how he wants them to. Idk, but his "I see them as enemies, allies, assets," comment in Chaos Rising seems to apply to him as well, I think. But yeah, if you're writing Thrawn it's definitely an exercise that needs a lot of thinking and an understanding of him as well as what would sound believable once explained properly but makes no sense as it's unfolding.
With the evil/not evil debate, I don't think we should be assigning him to one single box. He's not black and he's not white, but he is on the grey scale (which fluctuates with every action) and I think that's what a lot of people have issues with understanding. Yes, Star Wars is overall a fight between good and evil with Thrawn on the evil side, but Andor and Rogue One (and other things, I'm sure) have shown what's had to be done by the good side to win against the evil side and it's not pretty. The Rebellion is not purely white/good and nor is the Empire purely black/evil.
And maybe that's why I'm a bit salty when it comes to him sometimes. I want to get to know him better as a character
I think the Ascendancy trilogy expanded on him more and adds to the Imperial era trilogy, but honestly Zahn's writing needs a bit more juice with character descriptions and how they move throughout their environments. I don't think it could have hurt to have Thrawn's pov in the Ascendancy trilogy either seeing as he was under the pump for most of it. Seeing his inner thoughts when the Mitth left him high and dry while Ziara swooped in to save him at Taharim would have been interesting (as would seeing his thought processes for all those other times where he ended up in trouble). It's just a bit more legwork trying to understand him as he sees himself, but in both trilogies we only really understand him via other characters' impressions of him and the smidgeon of his own pov that we got. He is not unknowable though. He's loyal to his people, he's willing to do the dirty work for the greater good, he cares far too much for the Ascendancy's liking, he wants to make sure that everyone reaches their full potential, he's good with kids (which lives in my head rent free lmao), he won't stop until he's achieved his goals, he's not there to play politics and waste time; he's there to do his job and do it well. You can draw your own conclusions and theories as to what he's like from that. Fandom adds more, and you can pick and choose as you like.
And you're right, he does have a lot of potential!! Most of which Ahsoka screwed up (and that's all I'll say on that until I've rewatched his episodes and compared with the books that I've just finished lol).
Anyway, I think I've said all I can think of right now. Please know that in future I'm fine with you pulling my tags from the tags and reblogging with an answer :3
I think I managed to pin down what has been irritating me about Thrawn as a character.
Often there are issue with showcasing intelligence and genius in media. It's hard to do, especially as most of us are not as intelligent as the genius characters or plots we create. Which is fine.
The thing about Thrawn, however, is that his brilliant thinking is not really explained - sometimes it is, and sometimes all we're left with is that we're not as intelligente or insane as Thrawn to understand him. The latter happens when he explaines his art theories - which are, in fact, impossible to do; it is guess work.
(Looking back at the post I think my main issue is with the magical art reading theories)
I don't think you have to explain everything - you can show that someone is intelligent without delving deeply into their reasoning - for example, showing us the actions and results of those actions, their accomplishments, etc.
And therein lies the issue (for me at least)... when you look at real life geniuses, you would be able to understand their inventions and discoveries (well, people who study in a particular field would be able to do it). They are geniuses because they have a unique way of thinking, or are capable of noticing specific patterns, most often much quicker and easier than the rest of us.
But at the end of the day, many people can get them. Because their genius has helped push forward scientific research or technological advancement or any other sphere of our lives... it has helped people less brilliant to become more knowledgeable.
Even though Thrawn is said to have no Force abilities and is said to be just a regular, although brilliant, character... I think I'll have to headcanon in my head that he has some small Force connection...
Again, to each their own. I know most people don't have such issues with Thrawn and he has many fans that love him - I'm not trying to say that my view is better in any way. Maybe it is flawed in a way I'm not able to objectively see. It just irked me and I needed to voice it in some way.
#hydro rambles#thrawn meta#thrawn#sorry if some parts make no sense i'm feelin a bit frazzled atm lol
