what do u think Joel's built is like? is he muscular lean?

Joel is something between lean and muscular. He's not skinny, and he's not fat either. He has muscles (I mean, have you seen those arms), but he also has a belly—a little pudge that I'd love to bury my face in. He has broad shoulders and a fit waist. Overall, he's hunky, but he has a tiny ass, which is the juiciest thing when he bends down to pick something.

I think that before the apocalypse, Joel was taking good care of himself (he had a treadmill in his room), so I'm sure he used to exercise, keeping his physique in check. I don't think he was too involved; I think he used to do it to relax and to keep his mind off things. He didn't seem like the man who would spend hours at a gym.

That's why I don't think young Joel had this little tummy. Old Joel, on the other hand, does, because you can only imagine what it was like to try to eat properly in the QZ. I bet he gained a little pudge during those years because, on the road with Ellie, I don't think he'd develop something like this with limited resources for food. 

If you ask me, he's perfectly built because when he takes off his shirt, he has a muscular body, yet the lower you go, the muscular starts mingling with pudgy, and there's nothing sexier than that.

Medicine Pocket x Reader : “Isn't it good to be a dog?”

i wrote this at 1.4 China sever, I know Medicine Pocket here might be ooc, i didnt know Chinese, everything i knew abt Medipoc through using ggl translate their story. MediPoc in my fic using he/him pronouns (in game Medicine Pocket said i can call whatever pronouns i want for him so...)

---English Version---

Medicine Pocket finds you very annoying. He doesn't know if it's because of all the drugs he's taken recently, making your baseless babbling deafening. “Like a fly”, that's what Medicine Pocket bluntly told you, unfortunately you didn't even bother and continued to cling to him like a horseshoe crab.

Today is even more so, Medicine Pocket is almost drowning in a sea of ​​reports, dense numbers filling the mind, and even reprimands and reminders from sources above, even, one must say, Medicine, who had always ignored public opinion, was now exhausted as his brain was constantly repeating the cruel and disdainful judgments of some of the researchers who had chatted in the kitchen a few minutes ago. I don't want to pay attention, but somehow people always pay attention to how others comment on them. Medicine sighed, he raised his hand to rub his temple very roughly, threw the pile of papers on the table, he slid off the chair and lay on the floor. Closing his eyes, feeling the darkness weakly trying to cover itself in the bright light, he wondered where you were now? Honestly, sometimes listening to you talk silly is more entertaining than having a very social and fake conversation with a co-worker. You've warned him so many times, so many times that just by remembering it, he can see the image of you angrily waving your index finger to remind him that no matter how much he hates people, he can't call them assholes, then step on their foot and leave.

“Hey, what do you think?”

Medicine was startled from the impending sleep. Seeing your appearance, he was a bit surprised. Medicine didn't respond and simply looked at you with wide eyes.

“What's wrong, did you fall asleep?”

You were a bit confused when you asked two questions but still no scolding to kick you out of the room was uttered.

Medicine lay half on the floor, his upper body raised, looking at you in bewilderment like a puppy that had just met its owner a few times. You tilted your head to survey the situation. Could Medicine have tested something strange on himself again?

“Medi?”

"Yes?"

You walked closer and crouched down to Medicine's level. The eyes are still normal, the skin is a bit pale, the lips are not pale, overall you can evaluate Medicine as being fine.

“Give me your hand.”

You spread your hands. Without hesitation Medicine Pocket placed your hand on it, you took off his gloves trying to find something unusual, but everything was fine, the temperature remained stable and the warmth of his skin made you feel strong. The heat in the room also gradually increased. You gently squeezed his hand. When you raised your head, you still met his dreamy eyes from before. You couldn't help but giggle, breaking the silence:

“Are you a dog?”

Medicine was silent for a few seconds, he looked away from your face and then shifted his gaze down to the five fingers embracing his hand. His eyebrows furrowed thoughtfully, he really took it as a serious question. Medicine stroked his chin and sighed softly and answered without any excitement:

“Isn't it good to be a dog?”

This time you couldn't stop yourself from laughing out loud, oh my god, what were you thinking? You reached out with your other hand to pinch Medicine's nose. Instinctively, he angrily glared at you and coldly pushed your hand away:

“Don't laugh.”

“Why do you think like that?”

“See if I were a dog, everyone would definitely love me. I also won't have to find a way to please anyone, not to mention I'll be very cute.”

“You've always been cute.”

You wrapped your arms around Medicine's neck, this time he didn't pull away, he let you bury your face in the crook of his neck. Medicine Pocket does not have the scent you like, on the contrary, it is very unpleasant to smell, but it sticks to him for so long that the smell of antiseptic and rubber soon becomes an indispensable part of his daily life.

Medicine felt itchy when you whispered under his throat, he felt your warm breath stick to his skin, it was so annoying that he couldn't stop.

“What's wrong, does this great scientist care about what other people say?”

Whenever he gets caught talking about something, Medicine tends to react violently and deny it, but when it comes to you, he simply stays silent, indifferently avoiding your gaze. This time too, you didn't get his answer. You raised your head to look for his eyes, but Medicine looked at you. It's a look of boredom and acknowledgment, somewhere a little sulky, indicating why you haven't pampered or comforted her yet. “It's no different than a puppy that forgets to be petted.” That's the first thought that pops into your head. You leaned forward, your hands cupping Medicine's face, gently placing light kisses on his cheeks.

Medicine still didn't seem very satisfied, his ten fingertips wrapped around your hand, his eyelashes drooped down in a state of confusion, he tried not to look into your eyes but in the end he couldn't resist. Medicine remembers the words that want to be buried deep in the throat:

“Do you think like them?”

Your two noses touch, you smile:

“Of course not, if talking to them makes you feel that bad then just step on their toes and leave.”

“You call them stupid?”

“They deserve it.”

Medicine Pocket let out a dramatic sigh. After that, he kisses you.

Medicine Pocket cảm thấy bạn rất phiền phức, anh không biết có phải do đống thuốc bản thân vạ miệng uống gần đây khiến những lời lảm nhảm vô căn cứ của bạn làm đinh tai nhức óc. “Như một con nhặng”, đó là điều Medicine Pocket đã thẳng thừng nói với bạn, tiếc rằng bạn còn chẳng bận lòng mà tiếp tục bám lấy anh như sam.

Hôm nay còn hơn cả vậy, Medicine Pocket gần như chìm trong biển báo cáo, những con số dày đặc lấp đầy tâm trí, và cả những lời khiển trách nhắc nhở từ những nguồn chi phía trên, thậm chí, một người phải nói là luôn bỏ ngoài tai dư luận như Medicine giờ đây cũng mệt nhoài khi bộ não của anh đang liên tục lặp lại sự phán xét coi thường ác ý của một số các nhà nghiên cứu đã tán gẫu ở nhà bếp mấy phút trước. Anh không muốn để tâm, song con người một phần nào đó luôn chú ý về việc người khác bình phẩm mình ra sao. Medicine thở dài, anh đưa tay lên day thái dương hết sức thô bạo, ném đống giấy lộn lên bàn, anh trượt khỏi ghế và nằm dài trên sàn. Nhắm mắt lại, cảm nhận bóng tối yếu ớt cố gắng bao trùm trong ánh đèn sáng chói, anh tự hỏi bây giờ bạn đang ở đâu? Thành thật mà nói, đôi khi nghe bạn nói ngớ ngẩn còn giải trí hơn là có một cuộc trò chuyện hết sức xã giao và giả tạo với đồng nghiệp. Bạn đã dặn dò anh rất nhiều lần, nhiều đến mức chỉ cần nhớ lại anh có thể thấy hình ảnh bạn cáu kỉnh vung ngón trỏ nhắc dù anh có ghét người ta đến mức nào cũng không thể bảo họ là thằng lỗ đít, rồi dẫm vào chân và bỏ đi.

“Này, em nghĩ gì đấy?”

Medicine giật mình khỏi giấc ngủ sắp ập đến. Thấy sự xuất hiện của bạn, anh có chút ngỡ ngàng thái quá, Medicine không đáp đơn giản chỉ tròn mắt nhìn bạn.

“Sao thế, em ngủ quên à?”

Bạn có chút bối rối khi hỏi đến hai câu mà vẫn chưa có lời mắng mỏ đòi đuổi bạn ra khỏi phòng được thốt ra.

Medicine nằm nửa người trên sàn, thân trên nâng lên ngơ ngác nhìn bạn hệt như một con cún mới gặp chủ vài lần. Bạn nghiêng đầu dò xét tình hình, Medicine không lẽ lại tự thử nghiệm thứ gì kì quặc lên bản thân nữa rồi?

“Medi?”

“Vâng?”

Bạn tiến lại gần và cúi xuống ngang tầm với Medicine. Tròng mắt vẫn bình thường, da hơi nhợt nhạt, môi không tái, xét về tổng thể bạn có thể đánh giá Medicine vẫn ổn.

“Đưa tay cho chị.”

Bạn xòe tay. Không chần chừ Medicine Pocket đặt bàn tay lên, bạn cởi găng tay anh cố gắng tìm kiếm một điểm bất thường, song tất cả mọi thứ đều ổn thỏa, nhiệt độ vẫn ổn định và hơi ấm từ da thịt anh khiến bạn cảm thấy sức nóng căn phòng cũng dần tăng lên. Bạn siết nhẹ tay anh, khi bạn ngẩng đầu lên vẫn chạm phải ánh mắt mơ màng ban nãy, bạn không nhịn nổi mà bật cười khúc khích phá vỡ khoảng lặng:

“Em có phải là chó không?”

Medicine im lặng vài giây, anh hết nhìn vào khuôn mặt bạn lại chuyển tầm mắt xuống năm ngón tay đang ôm trọn lấy bàn tay mình. Đôi lông mày anh nhíu lại đầy nghiền ngẫm, anh thực sự coi đó là một câu hỏi nghiêm túc, Medicine vuốt cằm khẽ thở dài trả lời không một chút hào hứng:

“Là chó thì không tốt sao?”

Lần này bạn không thể ngăn được mình cười thành tiếng, ôi trời suy nghĩ gì thế này, bạn đưa tay còn lại véo mũi Medicine. Theo bản năng, anh cáu kỉnh lườm bạn và lạnh lùng gạt tay bạn ra:

“Đừng có cười.”

“Tại sao em lại suy nghĩ như vậy?”

“Chị xem nếu là chó, mọi người chắc hẳn sẽ rất yêu quý tôi. Tôi cũng sẽ không phải tìm cách để làm hài lòng bất kì ai, chưa kể tôi sẽ rất dễ thương.”

“Em luôn dễ thương mà.”

Bạn vòng tay qua cổ Medicine, lần này anh không gạt ra, anh để bạn vùi mặt vào hõm cổ anh. Medicine Pocket không có mùi hương bạn thích, trái lại còn rất khó ngửi, nhưng bám dính lấy anh lâu đến nỗi mùi thuốc sát trùng và cao su sớm trở thành thứ không thể thiếu hàng ngày của bản thân.

Medicine thấy ngứa ngáy khi bạn thủ thỉ dưới vòm họng, anh có cảm nhận được hơi thở ấm áp của bạn dính vào da thịt mình, vô cùng phiền phức đến nỗi không thể dứt nổi.

“Sao thế, nhà khoa học đại tài nay lại để ý đến người khác nói gì sao?”

Mỗi khi bị bắt thóp chuyện gì, Medicine thường có xu hướng phản ứng dữ dội phủ nhận nó, nhưng nếu với bạn, anh chỉ đơn giản là im lặng, thờ ơ né tránh cái nhìn bạn. Lần này cũng vậy, bạn không nhận được câu trả lời của anh, bạn ngẩng đầu để kiếm tìm đôi mắt anh, nhưng Medicine nhìn bạn. Đó là ánh mắt chán chường và thừa nhận, đâu đó có chút hờn dỗi ra ý rằng sao bạn còn chưa nuông chiều, an ủi mau mau đi. “Không khác gì một con cún con quên được vuốt ve.” Đó là suy nghĩ nảy lên đầu tiên trong đầu bạn. Bạn dướn người, bàn tay ôm lấy khuôn mặt Medicine, nhẹ nhàng đặt những nụ hôn phớt lên má.

Medicine có vẻ vẫn chưa hài lòng lắm, mười đầu ngón tay của anh bao bọc lấy bàn tay bạn, lông mi cụp xuống hết sức thất thểu, anh định không nhìn vào mắt bạn song cuối cùng không cưỡng lại nổi. Medicine lí nhỉ những câu từ muốn chôn sâu dưới cuống họng:

“Chị có nghĩ như họ không?”

Mũi hai người chạm nhau, bạn mỉm cười:

“Đương nhiên là không, nếu nói chuyện với họ khiến em cảm thấy tệ như vậy thì cứ dẫm vào chân họ rồi bỏ đi.”

“Em chửi họ là đồ ngu?”

“Họ xứng đáng.”

Medicine Pocket thở dài một cái hết sức kịch tính. Sau đó, anh hôn bạn.

Have you known that a ship exists, but you have never thought of it that much until one day you realize you ship it and you don't know how it happened? Or have you thought that a ship wouldn't work but then somehow were convinced otherwise? Or you didn't know about a ship and suddenly said ship is everywhere and you can't help but fall in love with it? Well, then this contest is for you!

Shipping is a very funny part of any media! There are ships and ships, some cannon you love or hate, some no-cannon that you wish they had ended up together... and ships you don't know how you ended up shipping.

Really, there are ships you don't know how you ended up shipping! One day you are chill, happy with your life, and the next you are obsessing with a ship you might not even have known that it existed. In fact, that has happened to me twice just this year, so I decided to create a contest for those ships!

Rules:

Please, be respectful to everyone. Don't be rude to someone just because you don't like the ship or be mean in the tags or reblogs. Let everyone enjoy what they enjoy.

Propaganda is allowed and encouraged as long as you follow the first rule!

You can submit any ship you want, however, because I am not very familiar with a lot of media, I will ask you to please refrain from submitting any ship that you think might cause controversy or if they come from a very controversial media (like Harry Potter or South Park). You will be helping me a lot if you do this!

There are three exceptions to the above rule is that you CAN'T submit an illegal ship, nothing that features an adult with an underage. These ships will be instantly banned.

Also, for this contest, I will not accept OC's as part of the ship.

And last but not least, nothing that features real people. Singers, actors, youtubers, streamers, NO-ONE of flesh and meat.

The ship doesn't have to be cannon, they might not even interact in cannon, who cares? As long as you don't know how you ended up shipping them, then you can submit it! You can even submit characters from different media!

You can submit as many ships as you want but don't submit the same ship twice. Number of entries will not have that much of an influence in deciding if a ship enters or not.

Instead, I added a question for you to tell how you realized you shipped this. It can be anything! You didn't know about the ship but one day you saw a cute fanart of them and OMG they are adorable together; you didn't think of them as a couple but someone convinced you that they are pretty cute together and know you are ready to sink with the ship; or you know that the ship isn't that good in the story they are from, but my god, how could you not ship them?

This is not mandatory, of course, but the funniest and most interesting stories will have a better chance of entering the tournament.

Most important rule... have fun!

Here is the submission link for anyone interested:

They will close on Sunday June 4 at ECT time/GMT-5. If there are too many submission I will close earlier.

Some blogs that have inspired me are @controversial-blorbo-bracket, @weirdass-shiptournament, @guess-that-ship, @found-family-tournament, @died-but-not-dead-tournament and many more! Thank you for bringing joy with your polls!

[niziye]

Are u gonna make more Max fanart

Yep, at least I intend to. I have some ideas, although there are no deadlines. To sum it up, I would like to draw a lot of things to be honest and there is some Max involved :)

Himiko Toga bnha 391

Hi. Before the next chapters of bnha prove me wrong, I would like to talk about my headcanon and thoughts about Toga. I have a lot of feelings but I don't know if I'm going to explain myself well enough. The chapter is still not officially translated but some have given a rough translation of what happens. For the look of it Ochako has been able to reach Toga and is trying to talk to her, it look like she is validating her love for her friends but still say her love is not pure enough probably because of the negative feelings and her actions. That's why she can't use Shigaraki and Touya's Quirks. This doesn’t look like something Toga likes to hear but at the same time her disguise is starting to come apart so it might symbolize that the real her is going to come out and bare her soul. So maybe Ochako is reaching her.

There are some questions about Toga's power and feelings. At first glance it look like Ochako is still not understanding Toga because what she is saying is not making Toga feel less regected, since it seems similar to what her parents have told her. It also rise the question about how right she is about her powers. Because, if her love is not pure enough how can she use Ochakos powers and Jin's? The conversation might not go has bad as it seem because, isn't she validating Togas feeling towards Ochako and Twices? She can use her power so her love for them is pure. I have the feeling the problem is not the lack of love, like it has been talked before. I agree that is true that she might not want to be just like Them because she wants a better life and their goal might not be the same, the same go with Twices since he is dead. However, with the clue that they have given us this chapter, about the violence being a factor that is stopping Toga, I think this is not where we are going.

Violence might be a good reason, but why? How can we make her understand without making her feel regected and repeat the never ending argument that killing is bad. It is a good argument but there is a problem deep inside which we can't just disregard. Toga is a criminal that would have to come to terms with what she has done. However, her loosing a friend and people saying "now you understand what is like" is not going to make her stop because in her mind she has been hurting before all this. I think making her realize that violence is stopping Toga's potential might be a good start, because isn't she implying that her Quirk is the opposite of violent? She might get defensive because people being against violence seem to be a regection of her relationship with blood.

Her Quirk make her attracted to blood. Everything that has to do with blood is cute for her and it pushed her to want to drink blood of that little bird or to hurt herself. She is just a little kid, I don't think she was able to catch the bird and kill it, so her bitting the bird is not like what psicopaths do before they start to kill people, which is killing animals. Example of this, Geoffrey from Games of Thrones. Her behavior was the one of a kid putting something in her mouth and finding out that whatever it was probably tasted and smelled good. We don't know much about how it escalated to her parents demonizing her. She went to Quirk Counseling which we don't know what it means or what they did there.

We also don't know if they knew her power was transformation or if she was a mutant. (May headcanon is that she is like Tokoyami, he has a bird head but his Quirk is Dark Shadow, she has vampire teeth or and a transformation Quirk). But whatever they teached her alongside her parents was to suppress her feelings. We don't know how far they went to train that of her, but my mind can't stop thinking that it was really bad. There is a possibility that they were abusive and tried to train her like an animal. If they did abuse her that has to be called out and make sure we tell her that society would make strides to stop that kind of thing. Which should be doing with Touya too.

For what she explained to Ochako in their fight in the house, the more she suppressed the more she wanted to drink blood. Making her stop drinking blood is not going to help her on the long run, she would end up exploding like she did before. But it also doesn't seem like it is just a dietary need. She explain how drinking blood and transforming is her way of expressing love, is as intimate as kissing. If we return to the beginning, in a way Ochako validated the whole process of drinking blood and transforming to be her expressing love. She needs to stress that. That it all revolve about blood and love but not about blood and violence. Which is what Toga also think she it is. What I think is going on is that Toga is losing sight of what she truly wanted and is mixing to many things. It looks like she want to just murder and hurt others. However, she wants a world where people like her can easily live. Does it mean it being easy to killing whoever you want whenever? I don't think so. She want a world where her drinking blood is OK and it being recognized as a way of showing affection too. Because needing blood shouldn't have to involve killing or being violent. We have blood analysis as well as blood donation there are way to be careful and gentle while drawing blood. But she doesn't know that because that is how everyone has thought of it.

Why was Toga able to use Ochakos Quirk? Not only she love and admire her and would like to be her. Even if is one sided she feel connected to Ochako in a deep level. Before the war she still had rose tinted glasses and was not trying to be a villain and hate the heros. They were an inconvenience but she still wanted to believe that Ochako would accept her so she was just feeling love for her in that moment and relishing in the feeling of her love. When she used the Quirk against Curious she was trying to escape and protect herself and was not even angry at Curious she was happy being able to use Ochako's Quirk and just wanted to keep loving. Curious dimise was an after thought. Right now she is using Twice Quirk and two this is going on. Twice is gone, she would never see him again, her transforming is her clinging to Twice feeling like he is with her and is living right now within her. In her mourning she is just loving Twices right now but at the same time she has to use his Quirk to use the Quirk of Shigaraki and Dabi. She is not just loving is using her love as a tool to hurt. In any moment she tried to feel her connection and love for them? Does she think seems like she is thinking about love now when she is just defeating heros

That's the thing, she is not even doing it for them in a outlifting manner of "my friends are my power" she is just going through the motion. I think the irony is that if she were to be in a LOV hideout having a fun moment between them of them just hanging out and she decided to just be vibing and just say "I love you guys" and drink Touya' she would be able to light up a candle hell if she was more crazy she would dance with him the Dabi dance and burn everything with him because it would be a game and she would just be enjoying having fun bonding moment with her friends while doing arson. The fact that she is not like that also show that deep down violence is not what she wants it was never the goal to just hurt people. She can't control it either so even if she wanted to stop she can't.

She should have been able to make it with a pill or a small vial of blood and made it her madicine if she started as a kid. Just like someone having diabetes need injections or those who need medication for mental health. Or if we don't want to see it like a real illness make it a Quirk thing. Dark Shadow can be really powerful and dangerous, Tokoyomi needed to train with it a lot to control it and thanks to one scene, I think it was his friend who sleeped beside him. If his parent had been Toga's and tried to make him never letting it out. I am sure Dark Shadow would have taken over and do whatever it wanted and Tokoyomi would be unable to be do anything because he has never tried. Bakugou can literally made things explode with his sweat. Someone with super strenght can destroy everything and someone with speed can end up running over people. They aren't made to stop walking or touching things. They learn by using them and them being children mean the power might not be has big.

Touya's fire was powerful but was still a flame at the beginning not the things he does now. He also was not taught how to lower the heat, that's what keeps him burning more and more. Have anyone tried to tell him use less heat or a smaller flame? Do we know if that can change anything? I mean Endeavor can end up burning himself to as well as Shouto. It looks like t Dabi just reached that limit earlier because his flame was the hottest. Remember also Deku, he was not use to his super strength and kept hurting himself because his body was not use to them and is not just super strength is a Quirk that has been passed down. The Quirk is in his mature state and has not evolve with him since being a kid. Quirk is like a muscle that have to be trained, the training arc in that forest was just that. If Toga's Quirk is like a caged beast that want blood and transform. The most hungry it become the more would it want to take over.

Ochako should try to explain it to her. Drinking blood is like a kiss or you find it sexy. Then consent is important, there has to be a bond and trust. After all is intimate. Her friends has given her blood because they trusted her. They might have an agenda and goal but there is still trust. Toga might use that reason to keep fighting because after all only the villains had offered that so how can she stop now. She might even explain more about her parents and the Quirk Counseling and might also be able to use their Quirk so it might look like it backfired. But Ochako might keep trying saying things like. It took a long time for her to realize what the issue was she might even say sorry that no one did this earlier and that no one tried to help her that she has should have been loved and what her parents did was wrong. Give us more time to make thing better, she would make sure of it. Help me make things better so no one have to go through what you did.

A lot of the g/t narratives and dynamics I see revolve around the giant, in some way or another, dehumanizing the tiny: the giant sees their smaller counterpart as inferior, fragile, or even as a plaything. And that is really cool to explore as well but… what if we flip the script? What if we subvert that trope a bit? 

What if the tiny isn't able to see the giant as a “person”. 

Think about it! How easy it is to see someone who is so much bigger than you, who is so much more powerful, who is capable of so many things, how easy it is to see that person as something other. As something better than yourself. And how much that can be hurtful for both the giant and the tiny, since it entails that the tiny fails to recognize their friend or lover as an equal, as someone with feelings, desires, and vulnerabilities. 

In this dynamic, not only we have a tiny with some pretty messed up self-esteem issues (to say the least), but we also have a giant that wishes to also be loved and respected by the tiny. Who doesn’t want to be seen as an object. They don't feel seen by what they truly are. 

And it’s funny because, in the beginning, all of the tiny's awe and admiration might seem or even feel like love, but in reality it is not — or, depending on the point of view, it’s at the very least an extremely messed up interpretation of love. This type of "loving" can feel isolating, because it denies the giant of their personhood (is that a word?) and instead, they are placed on a pedestal so high that real emotional connection and intimacy becomes impossible.

It kinda feels like the reverse uno card to the “dehumanization” trope.

Or, if you really think about it, maybe it’s the tiny who is dehumanizing their own self for the sake of seeing the giant partner as this impossible, holier-than-thou, being. This concept adds another layer to the problem: someone who thinks so little of themselves next to someone else may not even realize the way they’re hurting the other. After all, they're far too insignificant for that, right? It’s as if, by elevating the giant to god-like status, the tiny avoids confronting their own ability to hurt or influence someone else, in this case, the giant. They outright ignore the ways in which their actions, their perceptions, and their emotional distance might be hurting their giant friend/partner. 

All this “reverence” comes off as a form of objectification, not exactly in a sexual manner (although it definitely can be), but in the sense that when someone looks at me, I become an object for them, while they remain a subject. 

I love this concept so much — I know it's not exclusive to g/t but it can definitely be enhanced by it. Just... that moment when we realize that others do not see us the same way we see ourselves.

Imagine all of the anguish that comes from this gap between the way the giant sees themselves and the way the tiny sees the giant.  They’re trapped by the other’s gaze, forever seen as something they are not.

[fairy-verse]

“Killer.”

The call of his name had been so soft and sweet he hadn’t believed it possible to come from Nightmare himself, least of all on such a bright day as the firstborn fairy of autumn rarely wished to come out during daybreak, and yet as he turned towards the great tree which gave Nightmare’s underground nest its structure, he came to see the firstborn sitting upon a raised root.

Stars and wishes alike, he couldn’t prevent his face from slackening as awe and disbelief painted itself across his whole skull. Nightmare had always been beautiful, from the moment he laid his hidden eye lights upon him, and long before that as well, but now, as he stared in shameless wonder, he couldn’t even begin to set words upon the emotions that racked and destroyed his soul from within. Clad in near-transparent silks of shimmering iridescent colours, Killer took in the sight before him, wishing he could permanently burn it into his wings so he may look upon it over and over again.

Nightmare smiled, a soft blush of colour blooming across his cheekbones.

Killer had a visible reaction to it; his soul nearly curved across his chest.

“Months of courting and unabashed flirting, and a simple dress and a smile leaves you at a loss for words?” Nightmare questioned, clearly taking a lot of pleasure from the current situation at hand. It wasn’t often he managed to render his ever-chattering fairy silent, but now, as Killer stared with open admiration, Nightmare found himself enjoying it; immensely.

Killer couldn’t let that taunt linger in the air.

“Simple? Why, my queen; the silver moon in my darkened sky, there is nothing that could ever be simple about you,” he said, regaining his composure as he approached and knelt before Nightmare. He took the hanging silks into his hand, keeping eye contact with his queen, and kissed it tenderly. “Don’t judge me so heavily for admiring the only light in my everlasting night.”

Nightmare’s blush darkened and he turned his head to the side. “Flatterer,” he said, though his voice lacked any bite. Killer had struck a tender spot, one that was easily softened under his warm caress.

“Only for you, my queen.”

Thank you once again, @aoi-kanna, for making my fairy Nightmare stunning beyond words. I just love how he seems so flirty in this illustration, but really, he must steal Killer’s words from his mouth every now and then. He cannot allow his handsome red fairy to fly around unpunished for all his brazen proclamations of love and devotion. Killer, for his part, will for once keep his mouth shut about this so-called punishment. How could he ever complain about this?

is it just me or its fucking CRAZY for a position that's barely above minimum wage???? like. what the fuck why is it so demanding skdfjbndfsds.

but then the dude also told me they received 250 resumes and there are only looking for 2 people, so i guess they have to filter people out, somehow...

I believe that the only reason why mashima didn't give team friends or fucking and their children jobs that do not have any destruction is cause lucy would be the only one having something to contribute

Yapping, mostly personal but fandom related still

Quite the synchronicity from life that both in my previous fandom and this one, I gravitated towards characters who not only went through a gross character assassination by how poorly canon introduces them, but are also treated unfairly by fandom in the worst faith possible to a point where people make a sport of it. They often treat their fans the same way and deem them subhuman because they like a pixel they don't.

Both of these characters require the player to dig a little deeper than the shallow puddle the canon presents at first glance, because it IS there, IN CANON, but not on the surface. And unfortunately most players will not do that with the exception of like 3 lore heads who also have minimal interest in characters like these.

I always thought how it was such an interesting thing to gravitate to traits like that, as in, their main trait being received unfairly by the public while I have childhood flashbacks exactly because of the same reason, and this is possibly the one thing I will not tolerate. When people are treated unfairly, it opens the knife in my pocket; be it real life people or fictional characters. I am even willing to go into whole-ass arguments over it, despite hating fights more than anyone, because both can induce a whole-ass psychological trigger in me that will result in days of dissociation due to some personal long-term events.

Now that I think about it, the very reason I gravitate towards characters like this, is because I can very well relate to being received unfairly for no reason while the public that does this is more hypocritical than anything, and turns out it's not just by accident I stumbled upon them.
