i don't think they listen to reason
but oppression won't kill us
Russian queers, they might have tried to silence you, but you are still alive. And they can never truly erase that. Stay strong, and be with hope.
so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.
please hear us.

Warning this post is just me feeling sorry for myself. I put it under the cut just I case, because I talk about wanting to die.
So funny to realize that I actually don't even want to live anymore. I have truly no interest in living this shit life. Like what's the point? I sometimes get questions about my career goals or just about dreams for the future and I honestly have none. I've really tried to think about what I want from this life, but I just.. I don't even want this life. Like I truly wish I'd just get sick or get into an accident and just died. I'm convinced I wouldn't even be here anymore if it wasn't for my kids. And also my mom who has suffered enough in this life and I don't want to cause more pain for her. I try to look forward to my kids growing up and succeeding in life. I try to look forward to becoming a grandparent in the future. I try to look forward to something. But I'm just so tired. So so so tired. I'm tired of having money trouble. I'm up to my ears in depth. And still I have nothing. I own nothing. And my economic situation is just not going to get any better at least for another ten years. And I will never be able to get out of poverty, not to mention being able to own a house or anything really. And also before I started studying I didn't work for over ten years because of my mental illness which means I'm never going to be able to retire. I just will not be able to afford to. And then there's the loneliness which feels so crushing sometimes. I can't have what I want and I'm not interested in consolation prizes. But god I wish I could fall in love with someone real and attainable. I wish I could dream of sharing my life with someone. I know love can give you a purpose. But I just can't. My heart is not free. And I fucking hate it for real. And I'm so tired of crying. Last night I cried so much in my sleep I woke up with tears streaming down my face. There's very little in this life that gives me true joy anymore. I'm so so so grateful for my pocket friends, because with you I can be completely myself. I can forget my troubles and my empty life for a moment when I talk and laugh with my friends. I'm very much aware that generally being online is not the best for my mental health. I should probably take a step back and take a mental health break and ban myself from anything Noah related especially, but I'm so scared that then I would truly have no joy in my life, because this is where my social life is. This is where my small sources of joy are. This is where some of the people I love the most are. And as much as I suffer from my Noah obsession, as much it gives me those incredibly important glimpses of happiness and excitement and feeling of being alive and my heart beating. And I'm not ready to let that go. In fact the idea scares me. So here I am. Day after day. Yearning and crying and screaming or shit posting or writing shit poetry or just mindlessly reblogging. And so it goes...

Do you have any sfw fluff hc's for MusicalJuice? Maybe even light nsfw like kissing, making out, Beej being pretty handy with reader, etc?
I love your writing so much, I wish I was able to write and share my writing like you and others in this fandom!
Hello! I really appreciate that you like my writing, thank you so much! I've honestly never been one to really create and share content outside of little circles of friends, but this fandom has just been so incredible and full of so many amazing people that inspire me every day!
I've always believed that any writing is better than no writing, especially when it comes to fandom. Not all of us have the skill or capacity to be full-fledged fic writers, but that doesn't mean we can't share our little bullet lists and notes app drabbles! You and everyone else can absolutely share anything, and I guarantee that myself and many others will love it.
Now, onto the hc's! I'm gonna throw it under the cut since it's a longer read, and as always I'm using a gender neutral reader ♡
Fluff HC's For Musicaljuice:
Right off the bat, it needs to be said that this guy loves whenever you treat him like a living person. Whether this means serving him his own plate at dinner or offering him a blanket during movie night, he absolutely adores it. At first he thought it was just you forgetting that he wasn't actually alive, but after a while he realized it was just how you showed people you cared about them!
He refuses to admit it, but it took him a ridiculously long time to figure out why every meal or drink you made for him was so much better than anything he or anyone else made. You'd patiently walked him through the steps of making tea just the way he liked it multiple times, but no matter what he did it just didn't taste the same. He'd complained about it to you, and without hesitating you'd offered to always make it for him. That was the moment he realized he was in love with you.
Unfortunately for your kitchen, this revelation was immediately followed up with him making several attempts to return the favor by cooking for you. Attempt is the key word, because nothing he made was edible, he somehow caught your electric kettle on fire, and mysteriously all of your dishcloths have vanished into the ether. The final straw was him putting a metal bowl into your (now deceased) microwave, and electrocuting himself when he reached into the still-powered device to pull the bowl out through the closed door. Once he'd stopped throwing sparks, you'd carefully pulled him into a standing position while informing him that he was forever banned from using your kitchen ever again. Before he could get too upset, however, you'd placed a kiss on his scruffy cheek and thanked him for the effort. His hair didn't lose its pink hue for the rest of the evening.
SPEAKING OF PINK - this guy will start having pink pop up in his hair at the most seemingly random times, and this ratchets up to a 10 once y'all start dating. A simple touch or smile has pink settling into his patches of moss. A kiss or hug sends it up through his beard and into the roots of his hair. The most surefire way to get him to turn completely pink, though, is to use his name - you're the only person he lets call him Lawrence, and it gets an instant reaction every time you do. For so long he'd hated the way his name sounded in the mouths of others, mostly because the only person who ever used it was his mother. But when you say it, it's gentle, warming, like coming home. You don't say it often, preferring to use it only when the moment is right, but when you do it'll result in an immediate hug (and probably more).
Now his hugs? Simply the best. You could be having the shittiest day possible and one long hug from him makes it all better. He loves getting to hug you, no matter the circumstances, and if he can get away with it then he'll be hugging you whenever possible. He also has several preferred hugging methods, that way he can adapt to any situation. He loves to hug you from behind while you're cooking or working on the computer, especially if he can wrap his arms around your waist and bury his face against your neck. Bear hugs where his large frame seems to envelope you completely? He does them daily (oftentimes more than once). Side hugs where he pulls you close and wraps an arm around you are always fair game, especially if you're around others or just chilling on the couch. He loves having you close by and tucked against him, no matter what's going on - any excuse to pull you in for a hug, he'll take it.
Hopefully you don't mind sharing a bed with an octopus, because he'll do his best impression of one every. damn. night. Good luck getting up to use the bathroom at 3am, because this guy isn't gonna let you go easily. Sometimes a kiss to wake him up is enough, but other times you have to elbow him in the ribs or kick him in the shins to finally be released from his grip.
And oh man you better invest in some ear plugs - this guy snores like a freight train, only this freight train has a penchant for settling in right against your damn ear. When he first started sharing a bed with you (long before you guys were dating, completely uninvited) he was silent, hardly daring to breathe lest you decide to kick him out. Eventually, after you'd agreed to let him stay, he started actually sleeping at night. He doesn't really need to, and you suspect he does it because it feels more human, but he insists he gets the "best" dreams about you when he sleeps pressed up against you. You interpret this as sex dreams, especially since he would waggle his eyebrows and make honking noises when he said it, but what he actually had were more like daydreams about being with you and his family for the rest of time. Okay, and also sex dreams. He's a highly sexual being after all, and he does love an orgy.
Once you'd agreed to (read: "given up fighting him on") his sharing your bed, hands would absolutely wander if given half a chance. Whether this is an arm slung a little low around your waist or a leg sticking between your own just a little too much, he'll take what he can get. If you established a hard boundary, however, he was pretty good about not pushing it. As soon as you guys started seeing each other, however, all bets were off - any chance he got, he'd have a hand up your shirt or in between your thighs. He wasn't necessarily trying to start something every time, he just genuinely enjoyed being able to touch you in such an intimate way. It's also not his fault that breathers are warmest at their cores - if your crotch wasn't so damn toasty he wouldn't be putting his hands there! (<- he's lying, that's a lie, he totally would be)
Finally, the thing he's least likely to admit to is that he loves when you're holding him. He loves laying with his head on your lap, or with his back pressed to your front and your arms wrapped securely around his middle. He also loves when you hug him close and let him press his face into your throat - yes he usually has to contort himself to do it, but it feels so nice to simply be held and listen to your heartbeat while ignoring the rest of the world. On his worst days he can always go to you for comfort, and even if he won't necessarily ask you for it directly, it's the one thing he craves most.

Oh god, I haven't read books since Omen of the Stars. (I love fanclans/fanfics way more then the books anymore. lol) How have they messed up each clan since the first two arcs?! I know ThunderClan has too many cats and ShadowClan went leaderless or had leadership problems for some reason?? Also SkyClan is there now. Maybe. Again, haven't read the books in forever. (Is the current arc any good? Or better then Omen of the Stars at least?)
The current arc is good, I can promise you that Warriors has never been as slow or as boring as it got mid Po3 - early OotS. I have a lot of issues with AVoS but I would say that all of the modern arcs have been worth reading.
BEFORE WE START: Check out this Helpful Info on my process as I redux the family tree, it contains my Three Strict Rules, the Onestar's Exception, the definition of an Orphan Warrior, etc. Very, very important.
Each Clan has a unique family tree problem;
ThunderClan
The Frostfour (Brackenfur, Thornclaw, Brightheart, Cinderpelt) had THREE cats who were extremely prolific. The entire new generation traces back to them, completely and utterly eradicating genetic diversity.
The fresh bloodlines, from Daisy and Ferncloud, were nerfed so hard with pointless killings that there's no ability to fix modern ThunderClan. The ONLY cats who could save it (Finleap x Twigbranch, Stormcloud) have also been prevented from having kits by the narrative, which is incredibly frustrating.
And it doesn't stop there, because the writers for some reason were obsessed with tracking Firestar's lineage through Bramblesquirrel instead of Lionblaze. They wrenched out Squirrelflight's infertility issues so they could shove two kits into her, while also having Lionblaze produce 3 kittens who have kittens of their own.
It's an exponential problem which made Nightheart's ENTIRE ARC in ASC less serious, because half of the Clan is descended from Firestar while he somehow has 'especially high' expectations.
And the bloat. They keep killing off mildly interesting background characters while not building on the ones they have, so now the Clan is just full of nobodies who have done nothing.
ThunderClan is really bad, in canon.
ShadowClan
Link to Diagnosis
The entire family tree from the earlier arcs is dead. Rowanclaw's one of the few carry-overs. Snowbird specifically is the progenitor of half of the entire Clan, to the point where Sunbeam actually can't be shipped with a cat she isn't directly related to (unless you put her with Blazefire, her mentor, or her mentor's brother.)
SnowbirdClan is so profoundly fucked that I can't save it. I can reasonably fix the others, but ShadowClan is so irrevocably destroyed that I can't save it.
WindClan
Link to Diagnosis
In spite of being full of "Orphan Warriors" (cats without a single parent and usually without children) they still managed to inbreed Heathertail and Breezepelt.
Onestar canonically thinking about how cool inbreeding is in his Super Edition made me so uncomfortable that I made the Onestar's Exception rule on the spot-- an exception that makes Rule 1 (no first cousin pairings) even stricter by banning First-Cousin-Once-Removed as well when there are cats alive who are old enough to remember the great-grandparent.
But that aside, most of WindClan is Orphan Warriors.... MALE orphan warriors. They ran out of women, and then Shellfur stole the ONE clean girl out of WindClan for himself.
Which I must admit is VERY funny. But anyway, fixing this tree means blasting the Woman Beam at most of them.
SkyClan
Link to Diagnosis
THREE first cousin pairings :/ And they only had like 3 generations, come on, it should NOT have been this hard to not bungle this.
Most of the problem is Clovertail and her prolific litters... but also, SkyClan is almost as bad as ThunderClan in terms of bloat. Which is weird because it's not even bloated with all the interesting ex-kittypets from the SEs and SkyClan side content, it's just nobodies because SkyClan queens keep pumping out 3 and 4 kit litters for NO reason.
It was an easy fix though. So I guess I can't complain.
RiverClan
Link to Diagnosis
Missing Generation Fog that settled over RiverClan just after TNP LMAO. That's it that's the whole problem.
Really it's a problem for opening up TOO MANY possibilities, like which cats are Reedwhisker's children. Everyone litter works as Reedwhisker's kids. Reedwhisker is everyone's father. Reedwhisker is YOUR father.

sometimes I feel like the old community that built up the alterhuman / nonhuman community has been forgotten.
Like everything has been so humanized, our identities are no longer deep because we don't teach the newer ones to try and understand it.
Sort of now feels like a game of "what feels like you the best?" And obviously, that isnt bad nor has it even been a problem. I've just been having this gut feeling that the whole community is becoming more and more human and forgetting what brought us here in the first place. Why we even feel these sorts of things. Like being a part of yourself is just a side blog, just something that is an add on and not something that is apart of you if that makes sense...
I feel lonely a lot, because I can rarely find anyone who connects with their nonhumanity as deeply as I do.
Rven though I'm currently not practicing being nonhuman and focusing on my shifts - no, not practicing, releasing. I haven't been releasing recently due to life and existing really lol. But either way, I just feel like this emptiness from being human is leaking very deeply into these places that once went to these places to hide from that.
Maybe others understand what im getting at and feel the same lol. I know others can't tell the difference, but I certainly can. And of course being human for some is an important part of their identity! I mean like I love being human - there's so many neat cool things and it's so great that I can even write this out so other creatures and decipher my thoughts and gain meaning out of them.
I just feel like the older, deeper, and more core primal part of the nonhuman community has been shunned and forgotten because of the bad reputation it has. And it's dying, and it's just mournful to see people wander onto these alterhuman places that don't connect with them, and talking about something that this other group completely understands, but has been completely lost and forgotten about.
Its scary to think that the p-shifting community is dying. But people don't want to believe in things that challenge the rational world now, and that's okay. Perhaps it needs to die. I'll always be a p-shifter through and through though. I'll always be a shapeshifter, even if nobody knows or understands what that is anymore.
Perhaps, a new community will grow over these old roots and find new meaning to shapeshifting. Perhaps our flawed ways will be seen and avoided. I want to see a community that isn't dying or dead because someone is a dictator with no actual experience in shapeshifting. I want to see a community where being a hybrid is okay, being unrealistic in your form is fine, that discovering werewolves and shapeshifting through a TV show doesn't make you a faker.
The p-shifting community is flawed. I do hope the old dumpsterfire dies. And I hope to god that we come out on the other side healthier and more alive then ever. I will say though, I have a feeling that no matter what happens the meaning of physically shifting will be lost no matter what we do. It's too taboo, too strange to most, and defies all logic in tiny human brains. That's okay though.
The practice has never been bad, but the people have been. I believe that p-shifting has never been bad (Of course if you apply it correctly. Anything done incorrectly can cause issues, including p-shifting) but the people who claim it, the people who attempt to dictate it, are. We don't need to destroy and harm and ban people because they aren't what you want, because they don't fit your standard of okay cuz there isn't any "science".
ill probably cover that anothertime, I'm incredibly passionate about the issues in the shapeshifting/ werewolf / p-shifter whatever you want to call it community.
But anyways, this is a tiny post about just expressing how I feel about this lack of depth that I feel about alterhumanity as a whole. I feel like they are moving in a direction that has lost the core meaning of being something other than human .
I will say though, it depends on how you view yourself and your relationship with your humanity. Perhaps all along there has been a large majority of people who sort of identify with being not human, but are mostly human. Perhaps the shapeshifter community is just an extreme version of this, that's why there's a lack of depth to it (personally to me)
regardless. Most likely no one will read this lolll

Helloooo💙 for the fic ask:
💀(take it as a compliment - because i went to a local game and the refs were hot and i thought of you)
👀
💋
thank you 💕 these are such fun ones!
💀 if you had to write an alternate ending to [take it as a compliment] how would you end it?
refs are so underrated!! the angry tension, the enemies to lovers, the forbidden romance of it all. so glad to have infected you with ref brain worms <3
so 'take it as a compliment' was only ever going to end one way, i.e. with some variation on a very sappy happy ending. that said, i did consider ending it on a kind of outside pov epilogue. i decided against it in the end, but i do still have several thousand words of tk trying to figure out why sid no longer refs their games while claude trolls him relentlessly. i might post it as a follow-up some day but for now a small section--
Travis begins with Google because where else.
They've got a red-eye back to Philadelphia, and he's still banned from the card table for "cheating" so it's not like he's got anything better to do. He pays the extortionate $20 for in-flight wi-fi and settles in for some research.
Sidney Crosby is still alive and still an active NHL officiator, which means Travis can rule out a few of his more wild theories. He didn't actually think Claude would hire an assassin or something, but if there was anyone who would, G's got the exact right kind of don't-give-a-shit energy.
Travis isn't wrong, though. A bit of time on the NHLOA website shows that Crosby hasn't officiated a Flyers game since the previous season. Given that he's based in Pittsburgh, it's unusual.
Reddit agrees with him. Or at least, a few Redditors in a random thread from last month have made the same observation. Weird, they call it. Travis reads through a few of their explanations with mild interest.
It's Gritty. suggests an account named JD1812, which Travis thinks is unlikely. It had taken him a few years of snooping, but he did once catch sight of the guy in the Gritty suit taking a smoke break. He's definitely just a balding dude, not, like, some eldritch monster.
Possibly a personal conflict of interest. If he started dating a player's sister or something they wouldn't let him ref those games, suggests another account. It's such a hilariously bizarre idea that TK has to laugh. He can't even begin to imagine anyone dating humourless, sour-faced Sidney Crosby.
There are a few more proposals. Reddit user TrueNorthStrong69 thinks that Crosby was taken off for bias, but that's also laughable; the NHL's never taken a ref off for being biased in its whole hundred-year history, it's not going to start by taking pity on the Flyers.
Travis reaches the end of the thread none the wiser. Really though, it's not like fucking Reddit was going to have the answer.
He closes the tab and shuts off his phone. Further up the plane, he can see the top of Claude's ginger head over one of the headrests. Travis narrows his eyes and glares. Fuck Claude and his secrets, he's going to figure this one out.
👀 what’s a fic written by someone else that you REALLY wish you wrote yourself?
hmmm i don't tend to think of fic as something i wish i wrote because if i did write it, it'd probably be very different. let's see...
i stumbled across confidence man by blaahaj recently which completely blew me away. i have a long fawning comment in my drafts that i need to actually post - the author has such a knack for nuanced, interesting but still very hockey-bro characterisation; it's gorgeously written; and the romantic italian (lmao) setting is catnip to me. the reason i mention it though is that the premise is genius, and as someone who's been playing around forever with a million different variations on a sports media guy/player au, i was very struck by how perfectly the author slotted the lead (in this case m tkachuk) into his sports media au role. it's hard to get aus right like that, but when you do mwah it can make for such a fab twist on the established character dynamic.
really though there are so many fics and authors i could mention here. this is such a fantastically talented fandom and i so often read a fic and come away thinking 'oh wow the writer did x so well, i really want to try that out myself.'
💋do you have any guilty pleasure ships that you really want to write for but are scared to?
not really! i don't think i've ever felt particularly guilty about liking a ship. there are a ton of ships i'd like to write for at some point in the future, but really the main hindrance to my writing is just time 😭
(✈ i will leave for the next ask....)

Blob for the ask game
1: sexuality headcanon - I used to think of Blob as the only straight guy in Mystique's Brotherhood, but Blob/Unus shippers have won me over. That dude is bi, for sure!
2: otp - Blob/Unus. I can't believe they are both alive on Krakoa and we haven't even seen them talking in the background! C'mon!
I've also seen Blob/Phantazia shipping, and while I really prefer Blob/Unus, I would be okay with that relationship, too.
3: brotp - I'm not sure who Blob's best buddies are, outside of Unus, who is more of an OTP for me. I'd like to imagine that he hangs out a lot with Toad, Pyro and Avalanche, just for the shared experience of being in the Brotherhood together. Pyro and Avalanche are obviously closer to each other, but Pyro was frequently paired off with Blob, and the two of them spent as much time being mean girls guys together as they did fighting with each other. Plus, it's canon that Blob relaxes the rules/sneaks drinks for Avalanche, even though he's officially been banned from the Green Lagoon for unknown reasons. Also, I'd like to think that Blob and Anole are buddies since they run the Green Lagoon together.
4: notp - I actually didn't like Blob/Psylocke. I don't mind the pairing in theory, but I didn't like how Williams handled it, and all the weird issues with Betsy in someone else's body. I didn't really like Blob getting a complete personality overhaul in that story, although in fairness it was an AU. Being a loud, angry jerk has always been part of Blob's personality, and you can make him more sympathetic and nuanced without writing him to be a completely different person. Bartender Blob on Krakoa seems to be a kinder, more thoughtful Blob who still feels like himself.
5: first headcanon that pops into my head - as Krakoa's main bartender, Blob hears ALL the secrets, and knows ALL the gossip. Pyro is always eager to tell him some new rumor, and Blob always knows already. He keeps the most important personal secrets people tell him under his belt, but he will absolutely spread the juicier gossip.
6: favorite line from this character -
Funny line - when Blob starts a fight with Avalanche because Avalanche made him drop his sandwich. It doesn't even feel like a "fat" joke, more of a "The Brotherhood guys are always ready to throw down at any excuse" joke. Also, I'd be mad about a dropped sandwich, too.
Serious line - any scene when he is desperately trying to save the dying Unus. They really gave these two guys a tragic romance friendship, then forgot for decades that Blob could be a sympathetic character.
7: one way in which I relate to this character
I can certainly sympathize with how his appearance has led to him being treated badly, much like Toad. He's not a mutant that can really "pass," and even people who don't realize he is a mutant will still judge him for being fat. I think his abrasive personality is partially due to him having to deal with that constantly.
I can also relate to wanting to be a Krakoan bartender. Stay out of the drama, just serve drinks and be chill.
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character
Also like Toad, writers really like to make him as gross as possible sometimes (because fat = ugly, and ugly = evil, right?). Like that horrible Ultimate version of Blob who was a cannibal. But especially that one Daredevil issue where both Blob and Pyro are being extremely gross about a young mutant girl (who looks to be about 12), who they are there to capture. Blob keeps commenting on her looks and insisting that he wants to "have her," because Pyro usually "gets all the girls" (no evidence of that in ANY of the actual X-Men comics), and then tries to force a female bartender to kiss him. I consider that one of my "Nope, that didn't happen" comics stories. It's a shame, because the rest of the issue was funny, and would have worked outside of all the grossness towards women.
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?
Bartender Blob is a cinnamon roll with a 70's mustache and a colorful shirt.

I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR SPACE SOLKAT TO FINISH god it’s so good i love this series. what’s your concept about the state of the troll species and the empire post-assassination?? if you had an idea for what would evolve from this!
AHH IM GLAD YOU LIKE IT!!!! :D!!
Tumblr media
This is an excellent question!! And I'm gonna use this as a sort of loose epilogue bc I have a lot to say actually
So killing a country's leader would obviously cause anarchy and pandemonium; I think post assassination, Karkat would sort of seize control anonymously at first. I've always thought that fics that cover this subject never address the fact that the mass majority of the population would not listen to Karkat out the get-go, so pulling strings from behind a curtain either by an alias or straight up pretending to be Condy makes the most sense to me. At least until his laws are less controversial and then he can step out, but it sort of begs the question, does he need to step out? Do they need to know that a rebel killed Empress and has been pulling the strings? I'll be honest I kind of completely forgot about Feferi entirely until like....I think it was after Transformation and by then it was too late, I couldn't just shove her in, so I could say that she either was beaten by the Empress in combat (Rip) or maybe hasn't even challenged her yet and maybe her and Karkat take control together. (tangent: i...do not know how trolls age tbh? With their vastly different lifespans? It's sort of accepted by the fandom that highbloods age normally, they just have a longer adult phase, but I can't help but wonder what if their aging was proportional to their lifespan? Like hypothetically, Sollux and Feferi being the same age, but looking like vastly different ages but ehhh that's anime creep shit and I don't like that)
The obvious things that are first to go are no more eugenics (ie. Culling people for genetic inferiority), no more mandatory breeding and no more using psionics as power supplies. I know that friendsim sort of implied that there is at least a tiny fraction of psionics that want to helm (but????? Okay freak). Karkat would try to outlaw this first, but it would basically crash the entire space travel industry, so he'd probably put a lot of resources into developing alternative forms of clean energy first, outlaw slavery second which sounds fucked up. That being said, he would immediately implement this his personal fleets, and making this his top priority, I don't think it would take long
I don't know much about population sciences, so I can't say for certain what it would mean for Alternia's gene pool what banning the the mandatory pails would do. Bc when you think about it, yes the population is increasing inevitably but also many many trolls are dying should they not Contribute, you know? So many less trolls being born, but more trolls staying alive? Would a better society emerge from genes being given freely rather than forcibly? Is that something that changes at all?
I also sort of wonder what this would mean for quadrants, like how many people stay strictly one or another just so they can have someone locked down for pail seasons even though they don't necessarily feel like that? How many people force themselves to vacillate for their kismesis just to survive? Would there be a spike in people taking moirails now that pailing is not mandatory? Would the ashen quadrant fizzle out now that you won't die for not having a kismesis?
Without culling anyone for "genetic inferiority," I think we'd see many many more mutant bloods, like this is just a given, but I'm sort of curious for other types of trolls that might come out that don't serve functions but are just different. Trolls that are only half psionic, having powers that are extremely weak as a result, more trolls hatched with disabilities, maybe we'd see more widespread psychic powers amount the castes or more lowbloods with stronger attributes. It wouldn't surprise me at all if drones were killing lowbloods that showed excellence to keep highbloods high and lowbloods low. Maybe lifespans for lowbloods would get longer as a result of them having access to better qualities of life!
And finally, what of psionics who no longer helm? If their end-all-be-all was to be power sources, and they ultimately are bred to be stronger and stronger, I can't help but wonder if maybe they'd grow weaker as a class? I know that's not as optimistic as the others but I can't help but draw parallels to the unicorns from MLP:FIM where most of them have basic magic skills but only a few study and achieve excellence with their powers through work and practice? Maybe psions become more like that and less like Freshly Born Powerhouses, you know?

To add some transmigration/reincarnation webtoons:
Villains are Destined to Die -- one of my all-time favorites. Woman transmigrates into the body of a villainess and does her best to stay alive. Thoughtfully done, emotions are real and vivid
Re: Trailer Trash -- old woman wakes up in the body of her 16yo self, works to undo her past regrets and achieve her dreams before she misses her chance. Not too many episodes out yet, but legitimately amazing
A Martial Master Wakes Up As A Concubine -- what it says on the tin, with a female protag who is absolutely not suited to courtesan life. Brisk pace, hidden identities, and a woman who just steamrolls past nonsense
Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story -- not many episodes out yet (light novel has a lot more, from my understanding), but an interesting take on some common tropes. How much of what people do is their own free will, and how much is forced by the plot?
Tricked Into Becoming the Heroine's Stepmother - sweet and sappy romance. A young woman wrote a story with a bunch of her friends about the exploits and drama of a duke's daughter... except now she's that girl's nanny and she can't stand the idea of letting all those bad things happen. So she takes action.
From A Knight To A Lady: in-world transmigration, the knight commander of a fallen nation wakes up in the body of a young noblewoman of the conquering country... and she's engaged to the head commander that took over her home country.
Divorcing My Tyrant Husband -- the art on this one goes from very good to amazing to just good, but the story carries it through. This woman wants a divorce, but everything she does ends up helping the emperor instead. It's like that old post about the guy who became President by accident and banned Doritos, only to find that Doritos were actually evil
Forever After - Isekai that focuses on traveling through different fairy tales, growing as a person from each... while also trying to stop the Wicked Witch from destroying it all
I Am The Villain -- around 30 episodes out so far. Young woman wakes up as the villainess in her friend's book... who also happens to look exactly like her. How does she navigate all of this while trying to get home?
Leveling Up My Husband To The Max -- ever woken up in the past and realized you never actually knew your husband? Well, this lady did, and their relationship gets much better because of it. Very fun.
Good Luck, Hero! -- honorary mention. Female hero-knight kills the demon king, is reborn as a boy in our modern world. Goes to write a book about their previous life, only to find that the demon king was also reborn. And is their boss. Ouch.
The First Knight With The Duke -- completed, very very good. Ripley wakes up as an extra in her favorite story and means to watch from the sidelines, but gets very drunk at a party, rambles about her blorbo, and ends up accidentally engaged. Funny, dramatic, and oh-so-wholesome.
I Will Live The Life of a Villainess -- why be evil when you have money? Very few episodes, but it's women supporting women
-----
Tapas
The Perks of Being an S-Class Heroine -- wake up as a child in a fantasy world, but, lucky for you, you bought the insurance package! So you've got a leg up. Child prodigy transmigrator with a heart of gold and a sense of humor.
The Perks of Being a Villainess -- you ever look at a fantasy world and go "wow, their math sucks?" Well, this lady did, and now... well, it's a work in progress.
My Brothers, The Protagonists -- a riff on all those male-lead action stories. Her brothers have come back from all sorts of horrible things (or so they claim, she thinks they're a bit knocked in the head), and she's just there trying to wrangle them all. Addresses the expectation for women to care for the men in their family, even when it doesn't make sense.
The Baengri Clan's Unwanted Daughter -- a young child worms her way into her family's heart with the power of being in the right place and the right time. Also having memories from the last time she lived this life, that helps too
The Status Window to the Soul -- ever wonder what other people think of you? Well, wonder no more, because, after dying and coming back to life as a child, this little girl can see just how much her father hates- wait. Why is his affection score so high? Could someone please explain what's going on?
The Falcon Princess -- one of my favorites. In the midst of an invasion, a fleeing princess wakes up in... the body of a bird. A military messenger bird, to be precise. With her un-bird-like intellect, can she help her country win the war?
The Crimson Lady -- Groundhog Day, but you're stuck in a fantasy romance novel and it just. Keeps. Going. Until you crack and decide that yeah, murder is an option.
The Legendary Beasts Animal Hospital -- what's a normal vet to do when mythical animals start showing up at their clinic? Besides have a panic attack, that is.
The Villainess Flips the Script -- really love this one! A woman wakes up in her favorite novel as the protagonist's abusive aunt... and decides that she's going to parent this boy properly until his long-lost uncle shows up to claim him. Then she'll have a nice retirement... except that the kid isn't willing to leave her behind. Well, if the kid needs you, the kid needs you. Or does he?
-----
Tappytoon (only one is a reincarnation/isekai/transmigration, but they're all still good)
The Rebirth of a Tyrannical Empress -- very good! When you wake up in the body of a drug-addicted despot shortly before a coup, it's a bit tricky to figure out how to keep your life intact. Even trickier to figure out what to do next.
Yuri's Palace -- fairly typical court drama, except genderbent. The emperor is an empress, the concubines are men, and it's just really interesting to see what stays the same and what doesn't.
A Villainess For The Tyrant -- one of the best, sappiest endings I've seen. Enough said.
Lethal Romance -- action-protagonist teenage girl and romance-male-lead teenage boy use their respective tropes to get each other out of trouble. Very genre-aware.
I have more if needed
Isekai with male protags: "I was a loser on earth but now I'm super fucking strong and gettin mad bitches"
Isekai with female protags:
Reincarnated princess uses earth knowledge to make magitech a thing and romances sad girl
Girl romantically pursues her video game waifu
Girl is tasked to teach actual fucking gods to be more empathetic to humans
Woman reincarnated as the daughter of a magic item crafter uses earth knowledge to advance her trade
"Straight" girl is sucked into a world with zero men and lesbians everywhere and finds out she's sapphic (there's like actual plot but the gay is what matters.... to me)
A ghibli film. Need I say more
Woman reincarnated in video game as doomed villainess desperately tries to change her story
Girl reincarnated as a tiny baby spider kills monsters to level up
Like the male protag one but the lame guy's mom got isekaid with him and she's the op one.
Two normal girls fight urban legends in terrifying danger dimension

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I got these and more asks regarding the post from last night so I wanted to elaborate and explain some things, and also make another point about the anniversary thing and clarify for anyone confused. After this I promise I'll shut up about this lol sorry
1) yeah please do NOT come after the VAs for any of this, not even the actual developer side either is at fault. This is largely an issue with the PR and marketing and higher up people. It's really awful that some people are harassing people who have no responsibility here. And thanks to the original asker's reply, I feel like I'm really bad at conveying my thoughts so I tend to overexplain lol, but thanks that means a lot.
2) I have seen people confused on this so if you didn't already, you should know that this isn't just about the anniversary so much as the anniversary was a final straw. While Honkai has similar rewards/exchange for irl money as genshin, mihoyo itself has some of the worst in comparison to other gachas from other developers. Games like Arknights, Granblue, Azur Lane, Dragalia Lost, hell even a cutesy casual gacha app like LoveNikki have much better real money to game currency ratios, huge anniversaries where they give out tons of free shit, and much more generous systems (such as Arknights giving free 10 pulls with a lot of events/new characters/etc). All despite being smaller, less profitable games. There's major glaring issues with the game that have gone unresolved for a long time despite people asking over and over to change it. It's a combination of the rewards, general stuff, and mihoyo's refusal to solve certain issues for a long time that has people upset.
In any industry, any company is going to be held to the standards set by the mainstream industry, which is what is happening here. It is natural to hold a company to it's competitors for comparison and expect them to match standards, especially when the company that is lacking is the richer one and could easily meet the standards if they were willing to.
This is especially true for people who put money into the game. Due to the nature of gachas/online games, companies that produce these games are usually very adamant on rewarding players because whales/P2Ws, people who buy welkin and similar stuff, etc keep the game alive. When they do not match the standard of the industry, those people will feel unappreciated and go elsewhere eventually, which means they will not be able to afford much progress, then even F2Ps won't have content, and the game will burn out.
3) I probably should have clarified this last post but, I know review-bombing does seem like a kinda shitty tactic at first and I get that, but the reason people are doing that now is because mihoyo has completely ignored people complaining for months normally, and even now has started to censor and ban people, deleted critical posts, etc. Basically it's clear that mihoyo will just ban and censor criticism until people do something that actually forces them to listen, hence review bombing. Banning/censoring criticism is a really, really bad move for any company, historically speaking, it's insulting to players who keep the company afloat and results in losses. The review bombing + a lot of people uninstalled the app apparently + people who usually pay refusing to do so anymore, all of that hits them to where they can't afford to ignore it when people do it en masse. Because it will cost them money/players.
What people are kinda really upset about, even more than rewards itself, is just the silence and censorship on their end, which is more frustrating than the lack of rewards itself. I did have some sympathy for them up until they started censoring and deleting criticism on their site. At that point they're doing this to themselves by doing that.
4) Also, notably, this has worked with plenty of other game devs. You may remember the disaster that was Fallout 76. Bethesda also responded poorly at first, but spamming bad reviews and horrible coverage for Fallout 76 got Bethesda's attention, and they went the whole nine yards formally acknowledging the complaints and more or less apologizing to the whole world of players at E3 and even gave refunds, which is a very surprisingly humble thing for a company of their level of fame to do. The situation calmed down because people felt listened to, and while Fallout 76 was kinda a lost cause and didn't get fixed, the idea is that the refunds/open and honest communication restored the consumer base's relationship to Bethesda. That was a big blow, but Bethesda was willing to take that hit to maintain the sense of communication and mutual respect/value between players and devs.
In contrast, with mihoyo, what most people have been trying to beg/bargain for for an anniversary rewards is a free permanent banner 5 star, which would cost mihoyo essentially literally nothing.
So far they have responded by banning people for literal years on hoyolab, deleting posts, banning people from various social platforms etc, for criticism. Even putting whether or not that's ok aside, it's very unusual and not how game companies usually handle these things, and can only end badly for them.
Also mihoyo has had time to fix this -- it's not like Fallout 76 where they released the game and then the backlash came very suddenly and they had to scramble to prepare a response/plan and needed time. People have been complaining about these rewards for well over a week, so they could have easily fixed it by now if they had any intention of listening to people's complaints, especially considering the proposed fix of a single free permanent 5 star would be very simple and quick to implement.
5) also? it's extra unfortunate and really a marketing team issue bc they could have *profited* from giving more, if they opened rewards to new players as most gachas do. Genshin is incredibly popular right now, to the extent that a lot of people in the gaming/weeb sphere who don't play it, but still know of it, and even know a bit about it.
If you were someone who had never played genshin but had been considering downloading it for a long time, but just kept putting it off or forgetting, and heard "hey join now and you get free Diluc/Keqing," that would have convinced a lot of people to go ahead and join, and they would inevitably get sucked into the game and bring mhy profit. So it's a little strange imo that they chose not to do that, it would have been beneficial to them.
6) also, be aware that the glider we're now getting was supposed to be paid originally. Releasing it free now is damage control. It's also, well, a glider. Again, while it is pretty, it's paltry in comparison to the industry norm and does not have much use to most people.
Finally, criticizing all of this/the game/mihoyo does not mean people hate the game. I do see some people lashing out in defense of mihoyo and I get that bc they produce something we all really like. I really really do not want to see genshin become "that one game that was super popular for a year or so and then died" -- that's why people want improvements, because if improvements aren't made, that's where it's headed. What people are asking for right now is stuff that is very easily in mihoyo's capability and would not cost them much of anything. It would be one thing to ask them for something that would cut their profits or take time to develop, but that's not what's happening. People are asking for very little in the scope of their capabilities/the norm.

Conversation
How the Bartlet Administration Reacts to COVID-19
Abbey: is not taking any chances. After losing the fight to get the President to retreat to the farm or Camp David, she gets him to agree to limit himself to the oval office and the residence, with as few in person meetings as possible. Even before they’ve pulled together a White House task force, she’s made sure that everything is being disinfected and that her entire schedule is either canceled or made virtual. Her staff is the first to be working from home (and oh boy does she scold if she finds out any of them did something she thinks is foolish), with most of the rest of the White House staff following shortly after. She makes it her mission to do PSAs on what people should be doing and even does a virtual Sesame Street collaboration to teach kids how to wash their hands.
Zoey: Is not super pleased to be stuck in the Residence 24/7. She’s doing classes from her bedroom, so yay to not having to get out of bed early, but she can tell people are super disappointed that her camera is set up so that she has only a blank wall behind her [it turns out the secret service is very touchy about where you take video calls]. She also gets officially hired and given a security clearance for the sole fact that she’s one of the only people allowed to be near her dad who is tech-literate. She ends up doing some of her reading on the couch in his office so that she's on hand for when he's supposed to be skyping with the senior staff and can't figure out what link to click. She spends a lot of time worrying about Ellie, who helping do research about the virus, and texting her friends.
The President: is not happy to be closed up away from people. He also thinks that Abbey is overreacting where he's concerned. He misses actually getting to be around the younger staff. He and Zoey do a cooking from home video at C.J.'s suggestion, so that the country can see he's alive and to encourage people to not go out. They make chili and fight over whether it needs more cumin or oregano while Abbey records it and pipes in from behind the camera. The country is treated to a history of chili and a diplomatic incident nearly happens because apparently Mexicans deny having any association with it, even though most food historians say it has Mexican roots. The flaming debate doesn't stop a second episode at Thanksgiving where the country is treated to the history of the yam and all the secret spices that go into the President's stuffing. A large portion of the country gives him flack for putting Oysters in his stuffing. [In a small bedroom in an Illinois apartment a woman finally figures out why Joe Bethersonsen sounded so familiar.]
Leo: moved into the Residence because there was no way he was going to talk the President off ledges via skype for however long this lasted. He can only do so much. Zoey helps him learn to use Skype and he finds himself missing Margaret desperately even when he spends most of the day with a computer dedicated to having her on Skype so he can turn to it and ask her questions. She insists he get exercise and eat healthy (something he thinks she’s collaborating with the first lady on behind his back—they say very similar things much of the time). He skypes with Mallory on Sunday mornings over breakfast in his room and they pretend they’re at a hotel having a fancy brunch.
Charlie: is not particularly happy. He got sent home with everyone else because he’s not particularly necessary to have on hand if the president isn’t going anywhere. He’s still getting paid and he does do some work (the most important bit being hanging out on the phone with the president so he can ramble about history so Zoey can get her own reading done, Leo can browbeat the staff, and the first lady can do her own job) but he’s been ordered by the president and first lady to focus on getting extra school done while he can.
Donna: started freaking out the first day there was a rumor of a new disease in China. Then the White House shut down and even senior staff got sent home unless they absolutely needed to be in the building (basically just C.J. and some of her staff). And her roommate (not the one she'd really liked, who had a cat, but one she hopes is only temporary) works for a GOP congressman who thinks the whole thing is a hoax and bans masks in his office, so Donna is not at all happy and spends time she should be working cleaning things her roommate touches and that's sixty percent of how she ends up living with Josh.
Josh: is struggling with not being allowed to leave the house on pain of the first lady taking him to task (something about his lungs and the bullet). Even when he was putting his nose to the grindstone to make it through college and law school, he liked being around people while he studied, so he was usually in the library or a cafe rather than his room. He works best when he can bounce ideas off people and take in new ideas. When he was grounded after surgery it absolutely sucked and that was why he drove everyone crazy calling them all the time. Yeah he was bored, but he was also lonely. Plus he's not the best with technology. He very nearly went on national tv with his boxers showing, if not for Donna skyping him beforehand and making sure he fixed the camera. Between needing not to be alone and needing his assistant to be able to actually help him, the invite for Donna to stay with him slips out when she's complaining about her roommate. She shows up two hours later with two suitcases of clothes and two suitcases with pasta, toilet paper, and flour.
Donna and Josh: are handling the pandemic much better now that they're together. Josh can bounce ideas off Donna without it tying up his phone line. And she can listen in on his calls to the various members of congress about the stimulus package that they're working on. It's an even better look at Josh's job than she had before, and while it makes some of her work harder to focus on, she feels like she understands some things better than she ever has before. Josh even starts listening to her about how to sway certain congressmembers to their side. When they're not working, Donna forces Josh to cook with her so they're not entirely subsisting on delivery. They tried making bread and managed to spill half a bag of flour on the floor in the process but they ate all of it, even though it tasted pretty bland. Josh finally got Donna into baseball when it came back. Toby spit out his beer when he was on speakerphone with them and he heard Donna accurately yelling at the Mets for screwing up. Donna wears Josh's clothes more than her own, since she doesn't have to be on camera most of the time. They're platonically sharing a bed because they haven't found a convertible sofa for his living room that they like, they say, and it doesn't make sense for one of them to sleep on the couch, which they say has a spring that makes it uncomfortable to sleep on, even though Donna lounges on it all day with no problem. They are absolutely not dating and so they tell all their friends.
C.J.: spends five minutes laughing every time she gets off the phone with Josh or Donna. She loves her friends but god they're so completely in denial. It does, however, give her a much needed break. Her job has always involved a lot of people and knowing what venue to meet them in to ensure that she gets or passes on the information she needs. COVID protocols mean no more one-on-one meetings with journalists in her office, no more gaggles following her through the halls. The press corps were not happy when they moved all briefings outside and insisted on face masks and shields in addition to everyone sitting six feet apart. She gets asked about the president's health at least once a day and they start doing weekly waving from the balconies just so the press corps can get footage of him, healthy and shouting down to Danny and some of the others. Someone makes a cartoon of the president in the tower, with Abbey as his dragon keeper and though no one is willing to justify a cartoon with a comment, privately C.J. thinks it's accurate. She's always admired Abbey's fierce protectiveness of her family, even when she doesn't agree with every way it expresses itself or when it interferes with C.J.'s job. She has to come up with new ways to push the White House agenda (keep the economy afloat, stay home, no, don't listen to the GOP governors or those running for the primary, those ideas are not good, go the fuck home and stop having parties) and while some work, others bomb. It would help if everyone would stay on message and not screw up.
Sam: would like to make it clear that he did not know how many people would be at that gathering. He thought he was going for an outdoor meal with just a few old friends who could help raise money for the democratic party, not a fifty-person birthday party. The media fallout nearly gets him fired. Instead he gets yelled at by C.J., then by the First Lady. Mallory even sends him a card about how stupid he was. He's pretty sure that having Donna around is the only reason that Josh hasn't made the same mistake by now. It had to have been a toss up as to which of the two of them would screw up. Sam just isn't lucky enough to have a Donna (Sam is very happy that Josh has a Donna, Sam just wants Josh to realize that he talks about Donna the same way most men talk about their wives, because it's really hard not to respond to "why do I put up with finding her hair clogging the shower drain" with "because you love her and can't live without her, stupid"). He instead has adopted a cat for company. It tries to scratch him every time he tries to pet it. Sam spends his days trying to find a way to say "fuck the economy until we've beaten the virus" in a way that is palatable to the American people while trying to remind Toby that they can't actually say that outright. This is not an easy task.
Toby: would like to tell most of the American public to shut up, stay indoors for two months, pretty much nobody excepted, and if you don't, then you get tossed out to sea. He's come within an inch of telling anti-mask people they deserve to get sick on the record and is strongly advocating that the federal government figure out a way to mandate that every person in the country, minus those with legitimate medical exceptions, get the vaccine as soon as possible. He is also about to get evicted because it turns out his neighbors do not appreciate having rubber balls bounced against the walls for hours on end. Apparently, the thud is rather annoying. He worries about everyone, though this is delivered brusquely. Out of everyone he's taking the new work from home situation the best. No one can pop in to distract him, or comment on his eating habits. And if he doesn't want to talk to someone, he can always turn his phone to silent and pretend not to have seen they called. He's not pleased the Yankees lost to the Rays (necessitating rooting for either the Dodgers or the Rays, one of which beat his team and the other which betrayed New York), but he can at least take solace in the fact that the Mets didn't even make the playoffs.

PARTY FAVOURS I CHAPTER 34
💖 first time reader click here 💖
Tumblr media
A little bit of plot, but mostly ironstrange x reader filthy porn. Bukkake stuff. Stephen finally opening up a lil bit, I mean... I've slept through a 1/3 of a hospital and lemme tell you, doctors are kinky bastards. On the same note, there's definitely going to be a chapter where all three men are involved after the plot shit is resolved.
Tumblr media
There was something big brewing. I had a hunch... which was more like a strong sense of doom... hanging over me and the rest of the world. Peter also had noticed the sudden spike in anxiety, quoting the sudden disappearance of many low-tier mutants from the streets. Usually, Peter dealt with at least a few enhanced enemies during his patrols but the closer it got to Christmas, the less enhanced bothered with small-time crimes, the more intense the buzzing of his Spidey sense became.
Now that my immediate lack of income wasn't a problem anymore, I set business onto that damn mercenary. I was no spy, I was no SHIELD operative but... I could be very clever.
First things first, I had to make sure I would stay alive no matter what. A subdermal tracker was a good guarantee of security and I spent many hours making one - having to keep it a secret was incredibly hard, I hated lying to my loves and I hated avoiding Wanda even more - I was constantly on the edge around the telepath, hyperfocused on keeping up the pretense of normalcy.
I wouldn't be me if I couldn't successfully pull off a whole ass façade. Unfortunately, the continued failures of the people searching left and right for the mercenary only fueled my strength for the inevitable fuck-fest that I would have to create in order to make sure my people get the peace they fucking deserve. The web of lies grew in size every damn day.
Subdermal tracker, an implant that reports directly to Friday upon activation. It hurt like a bitch - I had cut myself open, an inch wide gash on the inside of my forearm - and put it in without any anesthesia in my own bathroom, not even thinking twice before making up a lie that I had been careless in the lab and hurt myself.
An antidote to common tranquilizers, creating it gave me a headache the size of Moscow but I'd been successful; Tony assembled the whole team when he found it out, offering me a ridiculous amount of money for the formula. It was weird. SHIELD was interested, too, and I had to witness Tony and Coulson argue. Apparently, the agency wanted to recruit me and Tony was adamantly against it, totally forgetting the promise Natasha had given me. In the end, the spy and Coulson shared a quiet conversation and the man left, respectfully complimenting my skills.
I sold the formula to Stark Industries, unable to get rid of the weirdness of the situation. I had to shake hands with my own boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend... In a business setting. What. Just what. Bucky and Stephen couldn't stop laughing at the face I made all throughout that day - and Clint even went as far as to bake me a gag cake, a cartooney handshake drawn in frosting on top of it. I hit him with a spatula, Loki smiled in his direction for the first time in, like, ever. It was a trip and Tony had way too much fun with the incident.
Perhaps, turning myself into a cyborg stew wasn't the best plan that was possible to think up in a few weeks' time but I've never claimed to be exceptionally intelligent; if anything, I've always considered myself to be a moderately educated idiot. It is common knowledge that there are two halves of a whole idiot: my second half was on his way from California, having had received my very detailed e-mail about the whole cursed box fiasco and the consequences that followed. I could barely contain my excitement at the prospect of seeing uncle Eddie and his symbiote again.
Tony wasn't even half as excited; if anything, he bordered on outright hostile, bickering, and sassing everybody left and right. It could have been the situation at hand finally getting on his last nerves. It could have been his jealousy, the same that appeared every time I paid extra attention to someone that wasn't him, Bruce or Stephen. Either way, Bruce was sighing all the time now and Stephen's remarks began to fill with poison once again.
Just like the good old times, I guess. I was forced to pull a Me over and over, interrupting their petty arguments with increasingly absurd remarks. I felt like everybody was laughing at me these days, which ended in only one way it could have...
"Brat," Stephen's patience was paper-thin and, being forcefully distracted from yelling at Tony, he directed his angst at the nearest person - me. "I oughta put you over my knee. I swear to Cosmos..."
"Blah, blah, blah. Don't you ever get tired of listening to yourself talk?" I raised my eyebrows, tone deceptively calm. "You're talking too much for someone who can't even..." I didn't get to finish my sentence, suddenly finding my mouth firmly glued shut. It was magic - the sensation was pulling, but not unpleasant. Reminded me of a ball gag Tony had used on me in the early days of our relationship.
"Now, Dumbledore, hold your horses..." Tony interjected looking none-too-happy. The engineer placed a warning arm on the sorcerer's bicep, their little spat seemingly forgotten.
"What, Tony? She's been nothing but a mouthy urchin the past few days, I can't stand it anymore," They shared a meaningful look; no matter how much Tony wanted to argue, he knew Stephen was right. What he didn't know was that there probably have been a magic versus science altercation... Or worse. Humiliation was a small price to pay for some (relative) peace.
I did what I do best. I annoyed them further, throwing up a juicy middle finger to the two men and turned around with a huff, mind set on finding Loki to undo the mute ban Stephen gave me. Needless to say, I didn't make it very far.
In mere seconds, I was sandwiched between the two men, Stephen's finger delicately holding my chin to force me to look into his eyes. Tony was holding onto my shoulders from behind me - I could feel the tension, my engineer was almost buzzing with it. I was pretty sure my eyes were laughing anyway because Stephen's frown slowly transformed into a coy smirk once his stormy blues focused on my face.
"Brat," He repeated once again. "She's doing this on purpose."
"I can't say I'm surprised," Tony's breath tickled the nape of my neck. "That does sound like our little Princess," Apparently, it took all of a 0.1 second for Tony to switch from annoyed to horny. Men, they were so easy to play. "Baby, if you wanted our attention you could have just said so," He chastised me, hands sliding down to my waist.
I hummed, and then aggressively hummed some more until Stephen removed the magical gag. "Not like you'd notice it, being occupied with tearing each other's hair out," I pouted.
The sorcerer briefly averted his eyes, leaning down to softly kiss my pout. It was very unlikely I'd get an actual apology but a kiss I won't be complaining about either. "So, your best tactic was to annoy us even more? How does that work out for you?"
I pulled on the tied fabric around his waist, bringing him closer to me. "Pretty good, if I'm being honest. You're exactly where I wanted you to be," Carelessly, I began untying the layers of silks and cotton I had become intimately familiar with over the course of the past few weeks. Most of the time Steph wore his wizard garbs and while figuring out how to undo them was a trip at first, I had gotten him desperate enough a few times, for him to show me a few tips and tricks for easier access.
Tony snorted somewhere behind me. "You just want us for our bodies," His hands wormed their way under my shirt, brushing the underside of my breasts. Bra? Hardly know her. "Our beautiful, sexy bodies." Yes Tony, very humble.
"When will you learn, people?" I asked rhetorically, simultaneously leaning into both Tony's and Stephen's touch. "Why fight each other when you could be fucking me into oblivion instead?"
Stephen snorted, still not completely used to the at times crude things that left my (and occasionally Tony's) mouth. I had a hunch the sorcerer was holding back somewhat - for whatever reason - and I was eagerly waiting for him to get comfortable enough to reveal that special part of himself. Whatever it was, I just knew it was delicious and sinful and-
"Do you really think I will be giving you what you want after your little... Stunt?" Steph went balls out; his voice dropped and the intensity of his stare left me breathless. The hand that was stroking my face wrapped around my throat as he had some sort of a silent conversation with Tony.
"Yeah," I emphasized the word with an inaudible 'duh' behind it but obediently trotted along as Stephen backed up towards the couch, leading me by the throat like a pet on a leash. I was steadily going into 'no thoughts, head empty' territory.
"I like it when you get all bossy," Tony remarked casually but he was close enough for me to hear the strain in his voice. Every time we fucked, Tony eagerly gave up the control to Stephen. I definitely saw the appeal. Stephen Strange demanded authority effortlessly, his stern but fair attitude simply demanded to kneel.
That's just what I did. As soon as Stephen made himself comfortable on the Italian leather couch, I dropped to my knees, looking up at the man with big round eyes. Just like Tony and Bruce, Stephen had his own weaknesses when it came to moi and I wasn't ashamed to exploit them. Steph's stroked my hair, carding careful fingers through it, slowly unbuttoning his pants with his other hand.
"If you insist on being mouthy, I have a better task for you," He husked, pulling me closer towards him. I called it his doctor voice. Honestly, I don't have a clue how his surgical team could be around him with their pants on back in the day... The man was a snack on a silver platter.
Steph's erection sprang free. I didn't hesitate to wrap my hand around it, stroking the underside of his glans just like he liked it, looking to the side where Tony landed on the couch next to Stephen, a curious look on his face. Yeah, Tony liked to watch. Me and Stephen or me and Bruce... Me and Stephen and Bruce? That's an idea for later.
"Don't mind little old me," Tony smirked his trademark Stark mischief, getting comfortable, ditching his oil-stained shirt and unbuttoning his pants to lazily palm himself through his boxers. "Carry on," The smirk only grew when Tony noticed both me and Steph eyeing him with amusement.
I hid my grin, nodding my head, before wrapping my lips around the tip of Stephen's cock, relaxing my throat to prepare for the intrusion. Sweet and salty, the slit on his cockhead was mercilessly teased by the tip of my tongue.
Stephen murmured encouragements under his breath as I began to bob up and down, him controlling the pace with a hand in my hair, just the right balance between cruel and gentle. The sorcerer was always too good to me, bringing me to the point of overstimulation and instantly soothing the ache afterward; "Fuck, darling, your mouth feels like heaven," He groaned as I snuck a look upwards to see his lips parted and a steady flush crawling up his neck.
"She knows how to work a man, doesn't she?" Tony's lust had him panting, hips moving into his own hand. He leaned closer to Stephen, brushing my hair behind my ear with a tender hand. "Merlin needs to share," Tony began pulling me in his direction. I reluctantly let go of Stephen's cock, keeping up the pace with my hand as I scooted closer to Tony to be able to mouth at his stiff erection.
Watching me suck cock always got Tony hard enough to pound nails with. I couldn't blame him, I knew what I could do and did well; by the time I made my way down his thick flesh, drool was dripping down my chin and the make-up around my eyes was surely smeared by tears. My engineer was much less gentle than Steph, pounding my face without reservations.
"I know you can take it, baby girl, fuck," My face was held in his strong grip, thumbs digging into my jaw. "Such a good girl," The two words went straight down to my pussy and I had to squirm and clench my thighs together, whining at the lack of friction.
The air was pierced by a low moan - Stephen was fisting his erection almost desperately now, almost as desperately as I was humping the air, whining like a bitch in heat at the taste of Tony's cock in my mouth. I knew neither of the men would last long, not with all that pent up tension running through their minds and bodies.
"Fuck, come here, baby girl," The engineer yanked me off his cock, gripping the base of it so forcefully his knuckles turned white. I was all but dragged into the space between them; still kneeling, barely seeing with snot and tears smeared all over my face, I couldn't hold in the broken moan as the realization set in.
"Keep your eyes open!" Steph instructed furiously, scooting to tower over me. Tony followed in his steps as I obediently lifted my eyes to their cocks and then their faces; nearly identical furrowed brow expressions stared back at me, lips moist and eyes wide. Both men stroked themselves with renewed vigor.
I hummed softly before sticking out my tongue; their reaction didn't let me wait long. Strings of pearly white cum landed in my hair, on my face; I felt the warmth on my skin and tasted their salt and musk on the tip of my tongue, reflexively swallowing each and every drop that landed in my mouth, savoring it just like I savored the sinful groans that left their mouths.
"Fuck, you're so good to us," Tony panted, gracelessly falling backward onto the couch.
Stephen, however, didn't hurry to catch his breath, giving me a thoughtful look. His fingers shook more than ever but he paid no mind to the discomfort, gathering the cum dripping down my face with two fingers and offering it to me, holding them up to my lips as I gently cleaned them off. And he did it again, and again, until Tony gave a weak moan of recognition, throwing an arm under his head.
"Be polite, Princess," Stephen's voice hadn't lost the lust in it just yet.
"Thank you, sir," I mumbled, utterly captivated by the way he was looking at me. Stormy blues radiated a strong sense of intensity, devotion perhaps, that I wasn't ready for.
Stephen smiled at me, almost coyly, before kneeling right next to me and bringing me over the edge with a few sharp, clever movements of his hand. I held onto his shoulders for dear life, barely noticing Tony's reaction - if there was one - my other lover seemed to be as surprised as I was, choosing to hang back and observe the unusual situation.
I had a feeling that whatever it was, it would make another appearance during our playtime. It wasn't just sex, it wasn't making love - it was... Something. I loved every second of it.

It all starts to unravel when they're trapped aboard an alien spaceship - not, to be clear, as prisoners, but simply because they, unlike (they assume) most of the teams, are still somewhere in what's hopefully the air ducts and not any kind of waste disposal system. So, pros, saved the planet, cons, traveling away from home at faster than lightspeed, and Superman can tell you how wrong that can go.
In retrospect, it was the ghosts, Xanthe thinks. Maps was always the most blase about them, always going on about how their school was haunted; Tim always complained about having to deal with them; Mercy took it in stride. Death was the other thing, probably: Mercy always maintained she wasn't strictly alive, Maps described their many deaths in gruesome detail, and Tim just... never wanted to talk about it. It seemed reasonable, at the time.
Xanthe has never questioned how his team appears in arbitrary places too quickly for normal means. (They've never questioned this for any superhero; heroes are just like that, even if none of them - except maybe Maps - are strictly that flavor of hero.) But they're rapidly retreating from any sort of portal Xanthe can use, let alone ones he knows well enough to game, and he's trying not to let it give him panic attacks.
So, instead, they ask, "does anyone happen to have anything on them that can get us out of here?" They wish they'd brought their spaceship. They've been working on it for weeks, and, while it's not completely finished (and a little ugly and wrinkled), it would really come in handy just about now. Why would anyone need a spaceship, Xanthe? Yeah, now they really wish they'd brought it, just because the look on Popo's face would be priceless. If it was airtight. Which would require Xanthe to get all the folds right, so maybe not.
"Not while we're going at this speed," Mercy says, shrugging and breathing through her nose in the way she does when she's really nervous, too, "I mean, distance is all relative in the Dreaming, but, uh, the Green hates it when I do that with, you know, without any trees around. It's. Unbalancing."
Xanthe has been to both of those places, of course. Just because they aren't his places doesn't mean he can't get there, or that he never needs to. It's mostly the rest of the words that don't make a lot of sense, because those aren't strictly afterlives. Or they might be, for some people, but Xanthe was pretty sure Mercy was hanging out with normal people and not, you know. Swamp things. Although there is her mother, he'll admit.
"Um," says Tim, fidgeting at the frayed cuff of his sweater. "Look, if you could be really, really certain what you want me to conjure, I could probably do one thing. But either something is dampening my magic or the theories about the connection to Earth are correct. So. No, not really, sorry." He flips his trusty screwdriver anyway, and it's only at that point that Xanthe realizes he's just had it on him this whole time, unlike Xanthe's sword.
Xanthe has heard Tim refer to magic before. And, to be fair, many people refer to their brand of nonsense as magic in that same vaguely pan-British faerie story tone, too, even though Xanthe doesn't strictly think of it that way. But Tim is white, and white people love their Puck and Oz and Gandalf to lens their own gifts - and, if Xanthe is being honest, they kind of assumed Tim was a Christian psychopomp, and mostly just sent people to Christian Hell. Easier, at that point, to think of it as magic than damnation.
But there isn't any way to block passage to the Spirit World. You'd have to ban death.
Actually, Xanthe maybe should watch out for that in some of the lairs of some of the creepier villains.
But Tim doesn't seem to be any kind of Angel of Death, and Mercy seems to be some kind of nature deity instead of some neopagan guide across the veil. Maps has been vocal enough about Shinto, but Xanthe thinks none of that might be from personal experience. Although what sort of creature Maps turns out to be -
"Sure! Let's see what we've got here," Maps says, murmuring narration in the second person, as they do, which Xanthe hopes is not the focal point of their power, because if so, he has no idea what kind of cryptid that is. And it might be, because following that, they produce an assortment of almost anything someone might think of, at least when running through the rooftops of Gotham.
There's grappling wire complete with hooks, handcuffs, zipties, tiny vials of antidotes to all the common toxins (and a gas mask, of course, but they all have those), not as many batarangs as Xanthe would expect, smoke bombs, a geiger counter, a compass, several ziploc bags of cereal in various colors, a laser pointer, and a wide variety of pens. It's about at this point that Maps pulls out a small oblong of burnished metal that doesn't really look like much.
"What's that supposed to be?" Xanthe asks, when Maps holds up their find in triumph. Tim and Mercy look intrigued, too, which at least leaves them feeling less embarrassed about it.
"Oh, it's an emergency teleport to the Watchtower," Maps says, prying open a nearly invisible seem to reveal a Big Red Button. "One time when I was helping Batman - he didn't know I was helping him, but I was - and we got into a real bad shootout between King Shark and - alright, I guess shootout isn't the right word because -"
Mercy grabs Xanthe and smacks the Big Red Button immediately, and Xanthe only has enough time to grab the other two before the scene dissolves around them, and they sprawl in the sudden shift of gravity. Maps and Tim groan in unison, and Xanthe is right there with them, although they, at least, refrain from glaring at Mercy.
"What was that for?" Tim says, brushing himself off, and quickly pointing his screwdriver in a handful of directions, sighing in relief. "Fuck me, warn a bloke."
"That's my button," Maps says, trying to refile all the items they managed to scoop into their arms at the last second, "I really think you should ask first. That's like, friendship rules 101."
Xanthe sort of wants to protest too, but he also sort of doesn't. He's never seen Mercy look quite that furious, but he's seen her mom when she loses it, which isn't something anyone wants in a space station, even if they are already dead.
"You push the magic button before you get out of range!" Mercy says, tugging at her hair and clearly holding in a scream, so as not to give heart attacks to the still on edge superheroes trickling back into the Watchtower. Especially the ones with sensitive hearing.
But this is what Xanthe means. People call everything magic.
Group of friends who are close because they all have the same superpower except no they don't.

I am just really ambivalent with Good Girls atm. I can see the show not getting another season, it has always been on the brink of cancellation. And if this season ends with beth and dean still together and it gets cancelled, I will actually laugh at the stans who defend the show and its bad writing. It will leave a bad taste in their mouth, no one can tell me otherwise. I just can't take Brio serious as a ship when the writers are still clinging on to Beth and Dean.
I get that feeling, I really do, and I feel the same tbh.
It’s no secret I didn’t enjoy the direction they chose to take with 2.13, but at that point, I was still pretty hopeful and intrigued to see what they would do with s3. As much as I hated it, it was such an emotionally charged moment and an opportunity for them to really get into both characters heads, but they just didn’t. I felt like a lot of the subtleties of Manny’s acting made it a little bit easier to get a read on how Rio was feeling, at least for me, anyway. But with Beth, nothing about her actions made sense and they still don’t, which is my biggest problem. Like with the hitman storyline, on one hand, it feels like they want me to believe that Beth is trying to kill Rio because she thinks it’s the only way she’s going to come out of the situation alive i.e. she’s scared of him. But then nothing about her actions lines up with that. 
If she was scared of him, she would be too scared to steal from him, she wouldn’t be trying to flirt with him to get her furniture back, she wouldn’t be smashing up his artwork, she wouldn’t want to celebrate with him when she finally gets her business up and running. Which means that there’s a completely separate reason she wants him dead. I’m leaning towards it being an escalation of the ongoing power struggle they’ve had from day one. I feel like that lines up a lot better with the timing of her hiring the hitman. But then I really struggle to rationalise her thought process. How can you sit there and make nice with him, biding your time, until someone kills him for you? How do the writers want me to feel about that? Because I know they don’t want me to think she’s sociopathic, they want me to think that she still feels, but they just do such a bad job of showing it.
I’m such a huge fan of these somewhat toxic cat and mouse dynamics, I love watching that sort of power struggle. But it constantly feels like he’s the one effectively extending an olive branch (at least by his standards) then she throws it back in his face and I’m supposed to celebrate.  With other similar ships, there are moments or storylines that I don’t enjoy (I’m a whore for fluff, it’s no secret) but I understand them and I can see what the writers are trying to achieve, I can understand the characters mindsets and why they’re doing what they’re doing. But with the current Brio situation and Beth, especially, I just don’t get it. So it’s making me feel really disconnected from her as a character and I want her as far away from Rio as possible🤣
And then on top of the current situation between them, it’s been pretty consistent that her reactions towards Rio are so much more extreme than the reactions she has towards Dean. Dean cheats on her, gaslights her, emotionally manipulates and abuses her by faking cancer, he steals her children to force her back into submission, he cuts the printing plate to try and take back control which leads to Lucy dying, and yet she lets him get away virtually scot-free.  On the other hand, Rio makes her feel manipulated by having her drive an empty truck, so she physically assaults him by throwing keys in his face. Rio makes her feel disrespected, so she sets him up and has him arrested. Rio makes her feel used by getting too handsy with Dylan, she immediately tries to find a way to retaliate and stumbles across the pills. Rio makes her feel betrayed and used, she shoots him. Rio exerts financial dominance over her, she pays someone to kill him. This is a consistent pattern of behaviour with her so again, I don’t understand what I’m supposed to feel about Brio when she lets Dean get away with everything.
Sometimes I genuinely wonder if they’re serious about redeeming his character because it feels like Bans and Krebs are basically trying to gaslight the audience in their interviews. They consistently fail to mention him faking cancer which is probably his most vile and manipulative act, to date. And they’ve also failed to address that on the show in any capacity. I truly hope that’s not the case though.
As for the cancellation, NBC recently moved away from live and same-day ratings, which would probably be quite beneficial to good girls because, although their ratings are normally pretty terrible, the show does well on Netflix. 
I get what you mean about stans, I’m really not a fan of when people defend the writing choice to keep “Death” together because, at the end of the day, it severely hinders her character development and sends a bad message, especially for a show that pretends to have a feminist theme. I would probably struggle to contain my laughter if it got cancelled while they’re still together as well🤭

Brothers anon back again. Heads up im going to be busy for the next week about so it may be a bit til I submit my next bit. I'll try to get something in though! Even if its just a bunch of incorrect quotes I have stored up or songs that inspired the story (or if you have questions you haven't been able to ask you can ask those, literally any question is fine).
1: Not particularly, but it does give him an advantage in everything basically. Cause he was taught how to survive in many different areas (like treating wounds and how to survive in a tundra when you have nothing), this teaching is what allowed him to live alone for 4 years, and is what gives him a strong advantage in the Pit because he's almost fully trained in fighting and has many different tactics for multiple scenarios. Ranbob was distraught and was sent into a depressive episode when he discovered that, almost his entire family was dead, and got even more distraught and sent into a state of hysteria when he found out he was the one who killed them. He acted much the same when he found out he killed his friends, Ran's friends, and every single mentor and leader that was there. Knowing full well he may of very well doomed Mizu, if anyone was still left alive of course. 
2: Grievous remained salty for the rest of the day, and showed distaste in Ranbob as well. But the day after Grievous was back to being friends with and gently pranking Ranbob, forgiving him for yesterday's accident.
3: Eh? It depends I'll say. For life threatening situations and stressful situations, yes definitely. He doesnt last long before breaking down and begging Benjamin for help. But if its something like getting everyone to work toghere, giving directions, stopping fights, or even making calls in a very important decision, he doesnt get overwhelmed too easily. Benjamin is basically the co-leader of the group, only really leading when Isaac is unable too. 
5: Yep! Just cause this is a mythical and fake world doesnt mean there can't be some real world attributes. Im trying to keep it mythical but also use real world functions and trying to show the change/mix in times (like how while some of the world is machinery and its slowly gaining popularity, it's still mostly midevil based)
7: If the person is in the arena he gets revenge. Though sadly he can't get it outside cause last time he did that he got banned from fighting for a month. But if he sees one of the people who made fun of Jackie in the arena he makes sure to go hard to them, pushing them to their limit, but not pushing hard enough to make them lose if that makes sense. He makes sure to fight in a way that's draining and causing pain for the person, but not draining enough to make the round end so he can drag it on until the person collapses. 
8: He does! He's kept all of his books from his adventures and sometimes re-reads them to make sure he doesnt forget anything. And sometimes if the others beg, he reads them outloud to the group as a sort of bedtime story. He goes wack, he wacks Jackie when he's being a little shit, he wacks Grievous after a prank, he wacks Genevieve when she brakes a training dummy, he wacks Levi especially hard when he gives Jackie alcohol after he specifically told him not too. He watched the dressmaker, baker, farmer, fletcher, cleric, cartographer, and butcher! He learned all tricks of the trade and learned how to properly make clothes, map maps, how to take care of animals and what certain animals need, how to cook anything basically, how to harvest and preserve food, and how to make arrows and the basic necessities for a bow. 
Ran does not necessarily make them often, he mostly only wrote them down so he wouldn't accidentally brew a potion of poison and drink it thinking it was a healing potion. Its considered no longer necessary to go into the nether, as the only thing really needed is netherwart and building supplies, but the building supplies are very rarely needed and every major city has a netherwart farm. Also cause I wanna add it, no one knows about netherite. Only a few adventures know about it but consider it a hoax, it's only Rans netherite sword that actually proves that it does exist. I actually wasnt planning on it at first but now definitely, I could do a lot of things with them in the SMP grounds. Weeks, it takes weeks for Ran to decide their ready. Because they need to pass whats basically tests about mobs of the nether and their habits, mine plenty of gold, learn about what to and what not to do around Piglins, learn about bastions and fortresses and areas to completely avoid, learn to be able to take multiple mobs on at once, and be able to withstand the heat there. Watson tries to get Ran to lighten up on the requirements but Ran is firmly sticking his ground and Watson ends up giving up and letting Ran do whatever. Though even with all of Rans training their not completely ready for the nether. The fishermen originally refuse to go through, but eventually go through, mostly to make sure Ranbob is safe, and because Cletus wouldn't stop whining about going. 
10: I am very tempted to add angst here because their fighting against Dream after all. But I've made a lot of angst so far so I'll only do it if you want me too. 
12: He does end up stepping in! He goes to Ranbob one night and says how he's noticed he's been stressed and always sad and asks how he can help. Ranbob brushes him off at first but is debating going to him again and asking for help one last time.
13: Yeah he's like a final boss. When you fight as a General your allowed to use your own personal weapons and whatever tricks or tactics you want, along with 3 potions of your choice. While when fighting as a typical gladiator, you have to use the weapons supplied (although unless specifically stated you can use any weapon given at any time), and have to use tatics and tricks specifically allowed in the rules. Though there are 2 more titles! Sergeant and Corporal. Ran and Watson are both Sergeants, they get to use personal weapons and mostly any tactic and tricks they want too. While Grievous is a Corporal and only gets to use his personal weapons. 
14: Yep! The whispers disappeared gradually the futher away they got from Mizu, and even while he was moving away from Mizu Dream was asking, almost begging him at the end, to come back to Mizu. Saying how the futher Ranbob gets the lonier and colder he feels, and how he's sorrh, trying to guilt trip him into coming back to Mizu, or at least coming closer again. 
15: It is!
1: Huh. What kind of things would people learn if they chose other idols, exactly? Also, ouch. Why do I keep asking questions I know will hurt me later on?
2: Gently pranking. I applaud his restraint. Is that how Grievous forgives people? Gently pranking them? Just joking with them in general. Also, who laughed at that little situation?
3: So Isaac’s good with everyday things, not so much high stress situations. Gotcha. Is there a reason Benjamin is able to remain calm where he can’t? Practice, experience, personality trait?
5: Very cool. Can’t wait to see what else you do with that, honestly.
7: Petty. I love it. 
8: Aww, adventure bedtime stories! Also, him wacking people is so funny to me, thank you for that. And Levi gave Jackie alcohol? How did that go down? Did Jackie get drunk, or did Watson manage to keep them from drinking it? Watson sounds like he could probably establish a small village if he so chose, and honestly, good for him.
Dang. Does this mean like, everything from the Smp has been lost? So many of them had netherite armor and stuff, what happened there for people to not even know it’s a thing anymore? What happened in general, for so much of the past to be lost to history? How does their little Nether trip go? Anyone get hurt? Are piglin tribes around to trade with? Do they find anything cool, like a fortress or bastion?
10: It’s your AU, do what you will. I’m going to read it regardless, because for some reason, I enjoy breaking my heart like that(and the AU in general). Just give us some bonus hurt/comfort if you do, please? Just a smidge?
12: One last time? What does that mean, exactly? Should I be concerned?
13: Huh. So how many people know that Jackie’s the General? What kind of status does it give him? And how many people have managed to beat him when he fights all out? Would you say he and Ran are on par? How about him and Watson? And do the Sergeants and Corporals fight before the General, as like, mini bosses?
14:Oh no. Did it ever cause Ranbob to try and go back to him toward the end, or did the Fishermen manage to distract him long enough to get away from the whispers just about completely?
15: Yay!

My babies pt.2 owo
Tumblr media
Age: 11
Species: Human
Soul: White (it doesn't have a trait)
His trait was determination, but all of it went inside his body to keep him alive when his AU was being destroyed. So now he doesn't have a trait, leaving his soul with a pure white color.
Frisk used to live in a zombie apocalyptic AU were LV consuming beasts, called Loved Ones, would try to infect as many creatures as they could and grind as many HP as possible.
After Frisk's AU was destroyed he was dumped in one of the Gardens.
He didn't understand how he could have survived the horrors he had just witnessed and he couldn't bear to live in a room that was determined to trap him inside with the images of his dying family still lingering in his mind.
He reached for two buttercups, which he knew were poisonous, and ate them.
But instead of abandoning life, he had created life.
Their names were Faye and Faas.
And so the F trio I love so much was born!!!
Frisk has become a very planning obcessed person since he got to live with Faye and Faas he has a very personal Bullet Journal (don't dare call it a planner in front of him!).
Faye sometimes draws a cover for it for the beggining of each month.
Because Frisk is the only survivor of his AU he is the user that has the last L.U.C.K. device (aka LOVE Universal Converter Kit), which used to be used for self-defense in his own AU, but has now become a very dangerous object in very dangerous hands (Nightmare's hands to be exact...).
Frisk used to be very rude and only care about his old family, but now I think he's finally understanding that life gave him a second chance and that's what he has to focus on right now.
He likes to collect rare flowers when they travel through different Gardens. (More on that later...). Frisk also used to aware a lot in his AU, but now he tries to watch his language ever since he met Faye.
He has a crush on Faye btw (They're my OTP...), but he's in the friendzone.
Back to the trio, when Frisk ate the flowers what actually happened is that they created two new beings to share his soul with, completely at random.
No one has a part of the soul in particular.
Because of this only one of them can take control of their physical form at once.
Sometimes there could be a arm of one of them showing and the other one controlling the other parts of the body. What I mean by this is just that they cannot exist fully, the three at the same time.
For some reason, the garden is the only exception to this rule. And the 3 phisical forms appear at the same time.
The trio doesn't age.
They don't have a trait since the original soul (Frisk's soul) didn't have one.
Tumblr media
Age: 12
Species: Human
Trait: Same as Frisk (since the soul is shared)
Faye is the cutest cinnamon roll you'll ever meet!
She's my favorite and if something bad happens to her I will kill everyone in this whole website and then myself! (After you politely give me your addresses of course UwU).
•~°°°°~•
Faye is a huge hopeless romantic! (#I_relate)
Whenever a Sans passes by she instantly blushes and thinks she has found the love of her life.
I won't be the one to stop if you want to call her a Sans Fangirl, but... She's just so much more than that.
Faye is also a really innocent person.
She is immensely shy with new people (everyone that isn't Frisk or Faas really...) and because of this every time a Sans goes by it actually looks like Frisk and Faas are blushing since the face swaps are happening so fast you can't even see it.
Since she's the one carrying the strongest emotion she should be the one assuming control, but Faye fights it, and manages to give that effect.
(This is awesome for Ink, because he seems to never get tired of pranking the three by flirting with Faye.)
Despite her shy nature, she's extremely extroverted, bubbly and energetic with Frisk and Faas. She can even become a little annoying sometimes.
•~°°°°~•
She is a writer and has quickly become the creator with the most number of AUs, even if he's only been alive for less than a year.
She promised Frisk to never delete an AU even if she doesn't like it.
She also writes about other stuff too, that are not Undertale related.
Because she's a creator she can't visit her own AUs unfortunately.
But she sure can watch Game of Thrones with the Underfell bros. (They cover her eyes and ears. Don't worry!)
•~°°°°~•
Faye has a parasite flower on her back (though in the reference is on the wrong side).
Yeah... The flowers in the Garden can eat you in your sleep... Faye woke up with one of them glued to her back, but she actually likes her a lot.
She likes to say, and I quote:
"I really like her. Sometimes she talks to me, though you cannot hear. That makes me feel safe since, well... I'm the only girl and the group and sometimes that can be a hard thing. But I definitely don't want any more of these anywhere near me. One is enough, I don't plan to share my nutrients with anyone else in the future. I'm not that crazy."
(I could about this character for hours as you can see...)
Tumblr media
Age:????
Species:???
Soul: Same as Faye
Faas is a mystery. No one knows what species he is (he claims he's not monster) and no one knows how old he is.
Don't worry though, behind all of that there is actually some ancient wise advice.
What we know for sure is that he acts like an absolutely egocentric jerk.
Just...
Be sure to get all the salt off first.
I made this character because at times my writing becomes very sarcastic and salty. That way I can dump all of it in here (95% here and 5% on Melissa if you read the other wiki).
Faas barely moves at all.
He floats lazily in the air and only uses his fire powers he has on his tail to slightly readjust his position in the air.
He is always hungry and asking for food and when he does get it, he's so fast you can't see him moving.
The only evidence you have is now a clean plate and possibly an empty storage where you keep all your food.
He has the record in the Multiverse for being banned from most Grillby's and its variations across AUs.
He has fire powers, however aren't very powerful however so he can't fight with them, or...
So he says. It's more likely he has never tried.
Faas has tried to escape the soul several times, but he always fails.
He says he wants to see the world, but feels trapped inside the soul the universe chose for him.
Faas doesn't trust Frisk and is always in the look out for him, to see if he doesn't hurt Faye (no matter how much he says he doesn't care).
