Colour shift! Lovely

Bakugou Katsuki dating a hyper feminine fem!reader

(who is also the human embodiment of Barbie)

Pairing: Bakugou Katsuki x hyper-feminine!fem!freader Warnings: fluff, maybe ooc bakugou? idk, the pictures at the top DO NOT indicate how the reader looks, reader is a Barbie dolls collector idk if that should be a warning I’m not good at this, there is nothing specific body type, hair texture or skin color described Note: Since I watched the Barbie movie I have been OBSESSED with it and hyper-fixated on it, so this idea came to my mind. I am not good at writing/writing headcanons so if it's bad please don't mind it. But do let me know what I can do better in the future.

Hyper and girly gf x grumpy and anger issues bf

Or la la la and ok ok ok

That’s literally you two

Dating someone who is hyperfeminine and is literally the human embodiment of Barbie would be an interesting dynamic for Bakugou

But yknow the saying ‘opposite attracts’

First time meeting you Bakugou would be utterly baffled at first by your pink-themed wardrobe, sparkly accessories, and bubbly personality; it would be completely alien to him.

At first, he might find you overly cheerful and appearance-focused. However, over time, he would begin to appreciate your confidence, bubbly personality, and unique traits (and also your odd obsession with collecting Barbies)

He might even secretly enjoy your knack for fashion and makeup although he will never understand your obsession with the color pink

OCCASIONALLY might let you do makeup on him bc he loves you too much to say no to you

Glaring at his reflection in the hand mirror with pink eyeshadow on his eyelid “I look ridiculous.”

but will literally threaten you if you tell someone what he doesn’t know is that you secretly took a picture of him with the pink and glittery makeup

Bakugou often reluctantly let himself get dragged by you to go shopping INSISTING on holding all your bags for you walking with you like an intimidating guard dog

Yknow that tik tok trend where a girl has night walking privilege and then they show their intimidating boyfriend walking with them? Yeah that’s you guys anywhere y’all go

Will glare and almost physically get ready to fight someone if they look at you oddly or comment on your appearance

The outfit contrast is COMEDIC between you two when you guys go out

Bc like you are all pink, bows, frills, sparkle, gems, and smiley

While he is all black, in large jackets, combat boots, hunched over shoulders, and a scowl on his face

Yall definitely get looks and double check by people

He will definitely give you self-defense lessons bc even though he is always there to protect you he needs to know if there is a situation where he can’t be there to protect you which is NOT often you can defend yourself

“If I’m not there to beat up some shitty idiot, at least you can kick some ass.”

“But I thought you would always be there to be my knight in shining armor.” you would say teasingly

Gets dizzy every time he sees your closet he's dramatic bc it’s all shades of pink, glitters, frills, and sparkles 

Pointing at your high heels; “How the hell do you walk around in those death traps??”

Bakugou ALWAYS remembers every little thing about you

Like your favorite food, flower, color that is really obvious or snacks, he even remembers your favorite Barbie from your huge Barbie collection

Bakugou would struggle to express his feelings in words, but his actions would speak volumes he will go out of his way to ensure your comfort and safety, and his subtle ways of affection always make your heart flutter

Surprises you with an intimate candle-light dinner with a big bouquet of pink roses

“Don’t get used to this mushy crap, okay?” he would mutter with a small smile

And you would pinch his cheeks “Who knew you were so cheesy Katsu.”

And you appreciate his ways of showing affection 

Bakugou once surprised you with a limited-edition Barbie that you had been wanting for a while and you cried

Y'all's dates might involve a mix of Bakugou’s preferred activities and your interests/ideas

So it’s a different type of date every time and each of them more fun and sweet than the last

Bakugou uses a few different pet names to call you by:

Doll/Dollface: Bakugou, at first, used the nickname with a hint of sarcasm but it evolves into an endearing term

Barbie: While this pet name seems like an obvious choice, Bakugou playfully uses it to acknowledge your resemblance to the iconic doll

Babe: A more casual and common term

Sunshine: He uses this term to acknowledge your bright and positive personality, even if he’d never admit that you have a positive influence on his mood

Princess: Bakugou might reluctantly use this pet name when he is feeling particularly soft towards you, even if he’d never say it out loud in public might let it slip once or twice

When you heard about the Barbie movie coming out you were SO EXCITED

Talking Bakugou’s ear off about the film and begging him to come with you

He is too whipped and can never say no to you so of course he is coming with you

You already had your outfit and makeup picked out for the film and also chose a Ken outfit for Bakugou fucking imagine him in the mojo dojo casa house Ken outfit with the fur coat SKSJSKJSJ which he hesitantly wore just to make you happy

He was definitely not enjoying himself by being your Ken no definitely not

He also bought you the Margot Robbie Barbie as a gift to surprise you and you swore you fell even more for the ruby eyed man in front of you

So in conclusion Bakugou loves you a lot and will do anything for you no matter what it is or how ridiculous it is

Note: gifs, pictures, and header DOES NOT belong to me. CREDITS TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS!! Feedback is appreciated.

what made you decide on the bigger changes, like reiner being black, saerys having red marks, lennox being a faerie, faeries having gem eyes...

Rule of cool, baby!

I'm fully indulgent when it comes to redesigns or my own takes on a story's concepts. I love worlds with fantasy creatures, especially when they're something a little different from humans + pointed ears.

For demons, I was inspired by both the unique patterns in other animals like goats, the fact human skin has invisible patterns, and the tattoos Saerys gets when he unlocks his more demonic form. It serves as a bit of foreshadowing for his demon form and gets to add to Saerys' feeling of being "marked" as an outsider from everyone else.

The fairies being sparkly with gemstone eyes is fully because SPARKLES! I am a magpie and love shiny textures and bizarre fantasy eyes. Lennox being made a fairy is because I wanted to add some more non-human diversity to the generals, and everything we learn about fairy magic being powered by community connections suits him perfectly for having corrupted it. It's hard to see, but Lennox's eyes are actually a little cracked to highlight it further.

Then Reiner being black is just because I enjoy colouring a diverse range of skinstones and originally the darkest character was Altea's father, followed by Caligo and Ishara. I thought adding some darker-skinned characters would look nice, and it generally suits Reiner's design with the strong golds and reds.

(I still want to see if I can balance out the skintone range as things go on)

[furrysmp]

decided to go sunbringer designs for once. I have so many words oh my god

so. uh,

I am so normal about sunbringer joel smallishbeans so normal I swear. he's planning to throw the o from his name at scott btw.

... he and scar are related but I'm not explaining further until the actual fic about it comes out because there's so much plot significance in the smallishbeans.

... grian. has a book. that he borrowed from the Library. it's very relevant I swear the concept of the library is a plot point.

Also grians eyes are technically green! With a bit of purple and just. a layer of Dark over them to make them less neon green. its not in his genetics to have neon eyes. unlike scar and I swear their eye colors are relevant but like in a weird queerplatonic scarian dl based bit in the grian chapter of the fic

Mumbo is a long cat and being held by me specifically those hands are how I draw my mc skin. I wanted to draw him as this meme since 2021 but he's very hard for me to draw so I took the one time I'll ever draw him and did this.

Jimmy is. a creature. that has bird features but also cod features bc again half of the plot of sunbringer is based on empires 1. Also the bird he's holding is singing. And joel is stealing the song bc he has music type magic.

Scott! Is the one guy I can talk about! Because he already appeared in the fic. He's part ender dragon and like. a child of stars? I have a lot of times I drew him before I think but idk how much of it I uploaded before so yeah. Please ask me about sunbringer scott smajor he's one of the only ones I can talk about and he has so much lore going for him he's so dear to me

impulse is. technically part ender dragon too? the specifics will be explained in his chapter of yhiwu (alongside. a lot of magic lore. like a lot. I have half that speech written already it's basically looking the empires fic in the eyes and going "fight me uwu")

And because impulse is aligned to shadows skizz gets to be some form of light dragon descendant? Like light isn't directly an element in the magic of this universe but it does have an equivalent in the element of Life, which connects to truth and love, whereas shadows and theatrics (and storytelling in general) is always aligned to whatever element is considered dark; in this magic system, being Void.

Tango is looking up at mumbo. thats all. I don't have a lot of notes because my tango is just a little guy.

(Etho is checking smth on his smartwatch and also doing his best to ignore bdubs rn bc bdubs is in his villain arc/hj)

... ngl the only note I have on the bdubs design is that it's accidentally inspired by my human design for the main character in the show I'm writing. Bracelets and sparkly eyes and a t-shirt and. Crimes.

also not much on the cleo design she was just fun to draw but the implications of her existence are spoilers and also not really visually indicative bc idk what a "zombie hybrid" would look like so she just looks. funky. her background is all stitched together btw I finally had a use for the dashed lines brush :D

martyn and ren are. BIG spoilers. But only to like chapter 5 of the current fic. I will say I highly enjoy their existence tho. Also my ren designs always have hawaiian patterned shirts its a personality trait he seems to possess. Also his glasses are like. a hologram? bc his ears are Dog so he cant have normal glasses w like. the things that go behind ur ears.

lizzie is. also very important. she gets the two animals thing like jimmy bc axolotl and cat were her empires animals. also her buns are heart shaped I saw some fanart of that and its really cute so I also have that. and she's also looking at the long mumbo! very confused.

bigb. scares me. like yeah secret life really be mans villain arc. I tried to reflect that by actually straight up mirroring his eyes and having him be. the only guy looking straight at u. he can see u. u can run but u cant hide. also he gets cookies. also also drawing facial hair is hard he's the only time I ever managed to make facial hair look. normal. ever. wont happen again.

gem is being adorable and also definitely a deer hybrid dont mind the magic or stuff its fine (her chapter is. third in the roster. I literally just need to finish the impulse chapter to convince myself that its ok to upload her immediately after ch2).

and pearl! who we know bc she gets first chapter of the fic and thats already out. her eyes are a bit like moons btw. also she's doing magic back at gem which is cute I think. idk.

also half of them have fancy hair shines. like joel having beans that get progressively smaller. or pearl having moons. :D

A Female Tengen Uzui Reader with Yandere Shiva, Rudra, Indra, Loki, Raiden, Buddha and Qin Shi Huang who introduces herself, in a very flashy way, as the ‘Goddess of Festivals and anything Flashy’ and that she calls her opponent ‘Trash’ (Her opponent is pissed and tries to bring this arrogant mortal woman down a peg, only for Reader to WREAK him, winning her fight, in a very flashy way of course) after she’s healed up, (God)/(Human) tells her she was amazing, only for Reader to go “Well yeah. I’m a flashy, glamorous goddess of Festivals, that’s a no-brainer. Not to brag but I have 3 husbands too!” and God/Human goes brain dead for a moment, only for Reader to say “And I saw your fight and what a flashy display of power! If your interested, I’m willing to make you my 4th Husband. After all, a strong and brilliant flashy ‘goddess’ like myself wouldn’t have anything less!”

-When the arena found out the next fighter for humanity was going to be a woman, many doubted you, most of the gods laughed, thinking this was going to be an easy fight, while many of the humans were worried.

-Your opponent, Nergal, went out first, only some cheering for him, as he was such an evil and vile god, the only ones that were really cheering for him were ones that just wanted him to win, not because they liked him.

-A spotlight shone down on the entrance for humanity, and three men were at the top, throwing cherry blossoms down as the door opened.

-Your dual swords, connected by a chain in the middle, was slung around your neck as you skipped out, a bright grin on your face as you posed dramatically as Heimdall introduced you.

-You then pointed at him, leering down at him, “Wrong! I’m the Goddess of Festivals and anything Flashy!”

-Heimdall wasn’t quite sure what to make with you, as your makeup was done dramatically, hair pulled up in matching space buns, and while your outfit was plain, a black demon slayer uniform, you wore a bright and sparkly headband.

-You were quite flashy, blowing kisses up at your darling husbands who all grinned down at you.

-Nergal was annoyed, seeing such a cocky woman as you spun your swords around with easy, showing off before you pointed one of blades at him, “Shame that my opponent is trash- totally unflashy!”

-The gods quickly grew enraged at your disrespect, many jeering at you that Nergal was going to kick your ass while Nergal was fuming, calling you a shameful woman.

-Your battle was the shortest of the tournament, only lasting about six minutes, jaws were hanging, mouths open and eyes bulged.

-You made it look so easy to fight! You handed Nergal’s ass to him on a silver platter covered in sparkles and glitter. You were a seasoned and skilled fighter, anyone could see that, even the other warriors who were all in awe of your skills.

-You were only a little roughed up, nothing major like some of the other competitors, except for one cut across your left cheek that needed some stitches, a lucky shot Nergal had managed to get.

-Your husbands were cuddling you, praising your skills while you were grinning brightly, enjoying the attention, speaking so gently, so fondly to each of them.

-They left after a while, as you needed to get cleaned up, and only moments later a knock came to the door and you opened it, not caring you were topless except for the bandages around your chest.

-The man at the door was stunned to see you in such a state, but you weren’t bothered before he grinned warmly down at you, “Your fight was amazing Y/N! I wanted to come and tell you in person because you were breathtaking out there!”

-You beamed brightly, hands on your hips, “Well not to brag- but I am awesome! Both in fights and in life, I’ve got three lovely husbands to look after me!”

-He was stunned, as he didn’t realize this, a bit dumbstruck before you grinned up at him, giving him a small wink, “I saw your fight too, handsome, you were very flashy yourself! I could always use a fourth husband if you’re interested, since you’re the best and I only deserve the best!”

-Shiva- Was very…stunned to meet a woman like you, you were confident and cocky, but could back it up, you were so soft with your husbands, just like how he was with his wives, you were like a mirror image of himself. You couldn’t help but laugh, which got him quickly laughing, when he told you he had three wives, seeing the comparison between the two of you. Shiva couldn’t help but like you, he wanted you by his side, but he knew he could do nothing against your darling husbands, as they were there first, just like how Shiva’s wives were there first with him. When you brought the notion of combining the two families, his wives and your husbands were shocked to say the least, but they all agreed, as long as boundaries and rules were followed, which nobody was really bothered by. SCORE!! Husband number four and three wives as well! You were living the good life!

-Rudra- Was stunned by your forwardness, your cockiness, but he knew you could back it up and for some reason, he didn’t dislike your bold nature. Most women he knew were more reserved, sometimes, but you were completely different, and he fell hard and fast. Your other husbands were very welcoming, something that surprised the Storm God, as you four were humans, despite your insistence that you were a goddess, but he wasn’t complaining. Rudra learned that despite your ferocity when fighting and your cockiness with everything, you were so soft and gentle with your husbands, and Rudra was no different, you let him lay his head on your lap and he basked in your gentle affections, running your fingers through his hair. He was content in sharing you with your other co-husbands, as they were there first, but he wasn’t about to let anyone else join unless if you said so.

-Indra- Your arrogance annoyed him when you first walked out into the arena, you were obnoxiously arrogant, but as he watched you fight, he couldn’t even lift his cigarette to his lips, in awe. You were cocky, but you definitely could back it up. When you proposed that he become your fourth husband, Indra did have to admit that he was annoyed, but your praise, that you acknowledged him as a strong fighter and worthy enough to be your husband, he couldn’t help but be a little happy. He was not shy, but rather tsundere, with you and your husbands, as they were very welcoming to Indra, while you were so soft and gentle with the four of them, a stark contrast to when he first met you. As time passed, you had him wrapped around your finger and he wouldn’t hesitate to defend you or his co-husbands, something he still gets shy admitting.

-Loki- His eyes were huge and sparkly at your proposal, almost instantly sweeping you into his arms, hugging tightly which made you laugh warmly, liking his enthusiasm. He was like a toddler with your other three husbands, not wanting to share, which got them all competing for your attention, which you thought was cute and they all bonded, using different tactics and Loki had to admit the three of them were quick to grow on him, just like you. Your four husbands were like a pack of wolves, guarding their beloved mate, fiercely, nobody was allowed to approach you unless you said it was okay, you were truly the alpha of your pack. Odin was grateful to you for keeping Loki in check, as Loki liked it when you punished him~

-Raiden- Was like a giant puppy with you, in complete awe as he had never met a woman like you before, confident, powerful, and beautiful, you were the perfect woman! Your co-husbands were very quick to warm up to Raiden, he was so warm and inviting and you got a good show when the four of them decided to have a drinking contest, which you ended up winning. Raiden fit in so well with your family, he was the missing puzzle piece you never knew was missing, your other husbands adored him, finding him fun but easy to get along with, while all four of them adored you. You treated them all equally, never giving any preferential treatment over the other, which they liked, but wouldn’t hesitate to tease each other, like Raiden would hug you close, “She gave me four kisses!” while holding you hostage, so you couldn’t give your other husbands any more kisses.

-Buddha- He liked the vibe you were giving off, you were so full of life and energy, so full of fun, but also so full of love. Your proposal was a bit surprising but he bounced back quick, giving you a warm smirk and almost immediately accepted. Your husbands were surprised to find out you had married a god, getting a fourth husband, but Buddha always seemed to match the energy levels and was just so fun to be around. He was great for cuddling and relaxing, not just with you, all four of your husbands could just vibe and enjoy time together without you being around. However, when you weren’t around, their family wasn’t complete, not until you were sandwiched between the four of them, drowning in their kisses and love before demanding it back, which you were more than happy to do.

-Qin Shi Huang- The former and first emperor had never met a woman like you before, you weren’t afraid to talk back to him if he stepped out of line, you were funny, loud, but at the same time, he felt himself drawn to you like a moth to a flame. He desired to see what other sides there were to you and instantly accepted your proposal. He wasn’t bothered that you now had four husbands, in his time he had multiple wives and concubines, and he had to admire you that you gave all four of them equal attention, favoring none of them over the others. He fit right into your family, as he was flashy and obnoxious as well, something your three husbands had to learn quickly how to control, as the two of you were quite the handful when you wanted to be, however they wouldn’t have it any other way, else they would be bored.

[lady-of-disdain]

So I just wanted to give an update that chapter 21 is coming along slowly but surely. I'm struggling with a bit of writer's block, and also the pacing for the next chapter. It's either going to be one REALLY long chapter or two shorter chapters. We shall find out, but either way, you'll get it all pretty shortly.

For now, spite about something happening in the fandom has inspired me to write a 'Killer is trans' drabble (along with Moony's fantastic 'Skeletons are trans' post.)

So enjoy a silly drabble under the cut and fuck transphobes.

Most of the deep conversations you and Killer had were over meme origins, conversations about show plots, and videogame strategy. Not that you didn't enjoy these kinds of conversations, but at this point in your relationship you wondered if you were both supposed to be having those deeper, meaning-of-life types of conversations.

Cuddling on the couch one day you finally get to have one of those conversations. As Killer lays in your lap and you brush your nails gently over his cranial sutures you somehow end up down a very interesting, and enlightening train of thought.

"all skeletons are trans actually."

"I mean, aren't all skeletons basically the same guy?" you ask.

"well, yeah, i mean all the skeletons you've met are different variations of one guy, though there is also his brother and different variations of him as well, but beyond that skeletons, as a subspecies of monster, are all born genderless and transition to whichever gender they feel like as they grow."

You are beyond fascinated, and for once getting information about Killer and his various alternate forms across the multiverse so you nod along exhuberantly and motion for him to go on.

"i mean i guess you could say that about all monsters, though with skeletons it's a little more obvious because baby bones are just that - bones."

"So you woke up one day and decided 'boy'?" you ask.

"eh, kinda. i mean i always felt like a boy in some way, though i did go through a 'girl phase', but that felt more like trying it on before i settled. and gender is funny sometimes, even though i'm mostly happy where i am, sometimes i feel different."

"That sounds very similar to a lot of human experiences," you muse.

"i must admit i do look good in a dress," Killer adds smugly.

You still for a moment, suddenly picturing Killer in a red, sparkly dress. Definitely something Jessica Rabbit would wear. Maybe even with a pair of ecto-breasts to fill it out.

"spacing out over there bunny?" he interrupts your fantasizing with a knowing smirk, turning around in your lap to straddle your hips. "something on your mind?"

You feel a very nice pair of somethings pressing into your chest where Killer leans against you, and your face lights up. How is he always so good at reading your face?

[murkystarlight]

Hey, I just asked sillysnaildraws and whataboutsimple this because I’m trying to make it a thing: If you were a MCSM style admin, what would you look like/ represent/ have as your symbolism/ whatever else?

I have never thought about this either-

I never actually made an oc before(that's not true- but I haven't made one for a fandom before.)

I also am not very crispy on the knowledge on the Admins(or the entirety of season 2)

But I'm willing to give it a go

Her main color would be purple (cause I like purple) but like.. I'm thinking the skin would be like.. a deep blue? Navy color? Her hair, clothes and other stuff(if I add them later-) would probably be purple though.

She has long hair. Like really long. She likes to play with the gravity and make her hair look like it's underwater. And same with her clothes. Very flowy

She has like- some glitter? Star dust thing around her. I saw how the Admins all have like.. body suits? They have a dark body suit looking thing with different designs on top I think(I need to look into them more-- I'm sorry). So I thought, let's give her a black body suit, and make glowing dust float around the suit. But, she likes covering herself. So she has like.. a big dress(cloak maybe?) on top of the body suit(which is also what I meant with flowy clothing). And since the glowing substance isn't stuck onto the body suit, it all kind of spills out and float around her dress(and her everything else) now. But you know what's the biggest thing about glitter? It gets EVERYWHERE

You always find it. No matter how hard you tried to get rid of all of it. So I like that to be the case. She doesn't mind it. But the others... they mind it a lot

Her eyes are white. Just white. The sclera, iris and pupil. Just white. And y'know, it glows and stuff

And my idea for the star dust thing is because, I thought it would be nice if she represent like... nether stars? Or just stars. (Like I said. I have no idea-)

And for the reasoning of that... she's like some sort of.. watcher. Spectator? And since stars are always in the sky(even at morning though you can't see them) I thought it would fit pretty well

She doesn't like getting involved into things. But don't get it wrong, she loves drama. In fact, she makes drama. Then steps out, relax and just watch the drama unfold.

So I would think that she doesn't like standing out too much. But still wants to be in the spotlight- if that makes any sense

So instead of staying in Admin form, she stays in like.. a makeshift human form. Since, then she would stand out when between the other Admins, but doesn't attract much attention onto herself in other occassions since she looks like a normal player(I think her Admin form kind of has a blackhole effect? Since it's flowy and her colors are very dark and all that she kind of- Well, either doesn't stand out much and becomes one with the background or overwhelms everything around her a bit)

Enjoys being alone, but will come out to meet you whenever you ask her to. She doesn't mind leaving to meet people or just have a nice walk.

Her personality- the righthand man who is planning a secret plot to overthrow the leader type. She's an ambitious one

But most of the time, she's rather childish and playful.

She's a free spirit but often doesn't know what to do. So she stayed at the other Admins towns for a while before she left to the overworld.

Once in the overworld, she started moving from town to town, making a few friends here and there. Since she stays in her human form it wasn't much of a problem. She likes rabbit(bunnies?), because of some silly legend in my country about rabbits living on the moon- and often goes stargazing. She likes to Uh- feel like she's one with the night sky. All her colors in her admin form are dark(except the sparkly stuff. Cause it sparkles)(and maybe her hair is a bit of a brighter purple than the rest of her outfit) so she could just pass by as the night sky. Makes her easy to watch things from above or not get disturbed. Or both. Both works

And this is just a silly thing I thought of(not considering to actually put this in, but thought it'd be funny) she went to the moon. She even made a small civilization there!

But jokes aside, I feel like before she started settling into different towns, she's tried to make a lot of her own. Just small towns. But they never kept her intrested enough. And she easily got bored of them. So like the free spirit she is, she just- left. Had some fun with them and just left.

I also had a thought, since she... I'm not sure if she fits in with one of the Admins. And she has a makeshift human form(not a human form of what she looks like without powers), maybe she was made by the Admins? They could do that, right? Create a living, talking... thing(Idk-)

I think I got everything I thought of written down here. As well as the answers to your question. If I understood them wrong- please tell me. And I'll try again(or just fix a few parts) after learning more about the admins-

This is just a bunch of random thought I had squished into one so- yeah... this is all over the place

[cosmerelists]

Cosmere Secret Santa

[Some Stormlight spoilers in this!]

In Secret Santa, you're assigned a random person to give a gift to. So in the spirit of that, I have randomly assigned Cosmere characters to give gifts to each other. Let's see what happens! And upon my honor, this is indeed all random...other than not letting Lift get chosen twice (greedy, Lift. Greedy!).

1. Zane gives the Stormfather...a glass dagger

Zane: And with this dagger, I will KILL this WOULD-BE GOD and then the VOICES will STOP and Vin will LOVE ME probably! Stormfather: ... Stormfather: I am not sure you understand how this holiday works.

2. The Stormfather gives Sarene...a vision of flying over the continent

Stormfather: I do not really possess material things. Stormfather: But pretty much all of the people I know enjoy the whole "flying over the continent vision" experience. Sarene: It is admittedly...breathtaking, aside from watching all of the people being, you know, maimed by flying boulders. Stormfather: ...Maybe I do not understand this holiday either.

3. Sarene gives Breeze...a bottle of wine

Sarene: This is a vintage recommended by my uncle Kiin. Breeze: My dear, you are one of the few people I've ever met with proper taste. Sarene: More of a compliment to my uncle, but thanks I guess.

4. Breeze gives Gavilar...a signed portrait of Kelsier

Gavilar: I don't get it. Breeze (sipping the wine from Sarene): And that is what makes it funny.

5. Gavilar gives Eshonai...a sphere filled with Voidlight

Eshonai: Gah! Why do you keep trying to give me that terrible thing??? Gavilar: You Parshendi are so strange--your gratitude and excitement look remarkably similar to horror and disgust. Eshonai: I am horrified and disgusted! Gavilar: You're so welcome.

6. Eshonai gives Taravangian...a little shalebark plant

Eshonai: My mother is old, and she likes plants, so... Taravangian: Well, thank you--that is very kind of you. Taravangian: But, uh, do you think all old people like the same things? Eshonai: Pretty much, yeah.

7. Taravangian gives Ulaam...a human liver

Tarvangian: As someone who runs a hospital, I have...an unfortunate access to such items, and I heard it would make you happy. Ulaam: So cool! I think I'll attach this to my wrist and use it as functional jewelry! Taravangian: H-Horrifying. Ulaam: Tee-hee.

8. Ulaam gives the Stick...nothing

Ulaam: There is nothing to give to the one who has everything. Stick: I am a Stick! Ulaam: You are indeed, my friend.

9. The Stick gives Lift...nothing (it is just a stick, you know?)

Lift: Aww, you get me! Lift: Things given really are never as satisfying as things I take--it's sweet and all, but lacks the stormin' challeng! Lift: No one has ever understood me like you do, Stick. Wyndle: A-Am I missing something here??

10. Lift gives Hammond...a slightly squashed chouta

Lift: I sat on it a little, but I think it's okay. Hammond: It smells great and I'm not fussy--thanks a lot! Lift: If anyone asks, you didn't get it from me. Hammond: I hang out with Kelsier; this does not bother me in the slightest.

11. Hammond gives Szeth...a sparkly vest

Szeth: Thank you? Hammond: I know you military guys gotta wear uniforms, but I also know that uniforms suck. Hammond: Wear the vest! Live a little! Szeth: I suppose...if Dalinar thinks it's okay... Hammond: That's more or less the spirit!

12. Szeth gives Zane...a pillow

Zane: Uh... Szeth: I can see in your eyes that you are a man much like me. Szeth: Tormented by nightmares, the voices of the dead, the guilt of what you've done. Szeth: Anyway, try screaming into a pillow. Szeth: It helps.

Since you tagged me in this poll I feel the need to answer with my thoughts for all of them. You know, for funsies.

40k Guilliman: pretty good option. He’s (somewhat) mentally stable and has talked it out with you beforehand. Though I am curious on where he acquired primarch-grade bondage equipment. Is that why it was planned months in advance? Was he spending all that time just trying out different kinds of ropes and chains that could hold him like some sort of kinky parody of Fenrir from norse mythology?? Also, he deserves sex that has him relax and not possibly shatter his partner’s pelvis, let that man rest. 8/10.

Corrupted Horus: We all enjoy a very evil and very charismatic man from time to time. And the chaos gods which are currently kinda wearing Horus’ body like a condom are one of the options presented in this poll. But before your mind gets carried away with the fantasy of hot mean DILF, we have to think: He’s still a DILF. And so his taste in music will be that of a Dad. So get ready for him to blast Imagine Dragons while sexily taking his shirt off. You plead for him to strip faster, not because you’re horny but because you hope that when he does so he’ll turn the rock & roll cover of Thunder off and fuck you properly. He won’t. 1/10.

Jaghatai: No words other than those of approval. No thoughts other than those of lust. 9/10.

Ferrus Manus pre-heresy: Not sure why you specified pre-heresy but maybe I don’t have enough imagination for a post-heresy lewding scenario, but I digress. So I feel that the sex wouldn’t be the main draw of the situation here, instead it’s more to do with trying to make a guy feel better about a body part that he wants to peel his metal-skin off of. Ferrus is a dude that has simultaneously given all of his children body dysmorphia (that they try to fix by replacing their body parts with tech) while also wanting to get rid of the most technological part of himself. And he won’t even tell people a direct answer about where he got the technological metal hands from anyway. This man is an enigma and the sex is just a backdrop for the true scenario; which is the Ferrus Manus character exploration that’s going on. So to judge purely by the sex itself it’s a solid 5/10.

Daemon Magnus: This dude will not only do all of what you specified. But he’ll also add Gale from bg3 astral plane type sex into the mix. The only limit is your imagination Babey!!! 11/10 (he may have used his psychic powers to mess with the rating).

Leman Russ: What’s not to love about a big scary man in a collar? What’s not to love about a living war machine getting restrained like they’re a simple animal?? Though him eventually breaking out of it would imply that my skills in Husband husbandry are poor, and that might make me kind of sad. 7/10 (would change it to 8/10 if you also put a muzzle on him)

Pre-Heresy Fulgrim: The number one rule of kink fantasy is that nothing will work out as perfectly as you want it to, something will always go differently than it did in your imagination because, fun fact, your partner is not a mind reader (and even if they were it’s not like they can control every action/reaction they do/have). If you fuck him he will be very very very disappointed in you and will act like a bitch about it. 3/10 (the sex stops midway through because you ruined his expectations too many times).

Rogal Dorn: The way im about to sexualise that middle aged man. Oh boy… well first of all I’ll- [REDACTED BY THE INQUISITION. SUMMONS A DAEMON OF SLAANESH IF THE TEXT IS READ OUT LOUD]. 9.5/10.

30k Corvus Corax: Now while he can’t be perceived, I can. In fact I am very perceivable. Unlike Corvus’ furtive emo outfits my fashion sense consists of wearing the most sparkly and shiny accessories all the time and in very large quantities. I dress as though I’m trying to sound like one of santa’s reindeer or a sentient human windchime. And my penchant to talk very loudly knows no bounds. So combining his extreme stealth with my extreme unstealth gives us the average of The Normal Amount Of Noticeability. Which would get us both arrested for indecent exposure. 0/10 because i don’t want to go to jail.

Sanguinius: also a pretty good option. Though I question how a man who had big issues with being deified by the mortal populace would feel about having his more “angelic” features worshipped. But I’m sure I can make it work. 7.5/10.

In conclusion: the vote goes to Magnus, but if he wasn’t there then Dorn would be attaining the title of “babygirl” real fucking fast.

Time to /finally/ answer some asks. This isn't a knock on you by any means, or anyone who's sent asks. I'm just not very good at it lol

Robby G: Listen. L i s t e n. This man is 1. the type to have a schedule for sex (nothing wrong with that if thats what people are into) and 2. the type to take it in the butt. He deserves it in the butt. Yes, he is a space war criminal. But wouldn't it be nice to put it in him?

Horse: I'm sorry, the image of an Imagine Dragons striptease is... enlightening as to the individual Horus is. He's the dad that hosts the barbecue parties. He's the dad that falls asleep watching TV. Hell, he probably wears Hawaiian shirts. (That last one's got me bricked up. Shit)

Jagh: This one got me. He fucking would be into leather, be it on him or his partner. May write a fic about it in the future. Dead serious

Ferrus: Ok, I'll admit it, this one was self-indulgent for me. Yes, Ferrus is an ass in canon. I also want him so bad, and that also entails helping him through some shit. (It's the "I can fix him" instinct.) Also, if his partner isn't ok with 17 inches, that's understandable. (Also also, I specified pre-Heresy because him coming back headless horseman style is kind of a pipe dream of mine)

Mags: Monsters are hot. Next guy

Russ: This one was a bit of a gift for my Russ fucker friend. You know who you are! And if you're a Russ fucker anyways, please be my friend

Fulgrim: This man has been through so many partners and he still doesn't understand kink very well, bless his heart. He's still gotta make sure everything goes the way he thought it would, otherwise what's even the point? Mm. Maybe he can be put with someone who makes him realize that it doesn't need to be that way.. ;v

Doorknob: Go ahead, sexualize the brick wall man. Put him in a maid dress. He'd like his partner to be a little rough, especially during... ahem. Encounters. Remember the Rogal Dorn position? Maybe not all the time, but fuck, this man needs to take it like his life depends on it.

Corax: Not for everyone, I get it. Especially if your clothes are like that. I applaud your fashion sense, you dress how I've always wanted to. But that fic's still rattling around in my mind. Thank you Raven Lady we all say in unison

Sang: You raise a very good point. I don't know how comfortable he'd be with focus on his more non-human qualities. But it can work. I have faith in you, battle brother.

[pinkanonwrites]

PIIIIIINK-! Hi. Hello. Greetings. Salutations.

Me need help.

I am happy to report that I've finished Transformers: Prime, and suffice to say, I've gained quite the boatload of knowledge from it as well as help from TinyDefector' Human Effects Continuation, and from your ever-so-patient assistance as well.

I happen to really like Knock Out- I don't know why, but his presence and overall influence and mannerisms within the series awakens something in me. Maybe it's because he's both a goof and a total nerd at the same time-? I don't know.

Currently, I'm trying to read the Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye comic series. While there are plenty sites containing content available in the internet that can satiate my thirst, I can't seem find find any websites that allow me to download Volumes 1-10 for free-

So, I was hoping that you know of some sites that allow me to download the MTMTE Series for free?

Oh! And before I forget, I also wanted to thank you for all the help you've done to me thus far.

Exploring this vast fan base was quite a joy, and YOU, as well as many others, are quite the darlings when a sparkly-eyed stranger comes knocking on your door and asks questions you so eagerly answered with finesse.

THANK. YOU.

That would be all, Bye!

Oh my gosh HIIIIIIII!!!! Great to hear from you! I'm glad you've been enjoying your venture into Transformers so far! Now I can't speak for downloads, as I read MTMTE online on the Read Comic Online website. It'll probably be easier to read it there than it would be to find any downloads of it. (Just to note I have no idea if there's a pop-up issue with this website, as I use Adblocker.)

There's an alternative method too, but it's a little clumsy. If you open the individual volumes of the comic on Read Comic Online and wait until all the pages have loaded, you can hit Ctrl+P to open the Print menu. That will reduce the website page down to the individual image files for printing purposes. But instead of printing, you can just save the files as a PDF to your PC. It won't be perfect (each page will have the big white outline of the website) but that's definitely an option if you prefer to have them downloaded. Just make sure you don't accidentally print them, that'd waste a LOT of good ink!

If there are any other MTMTE fans out there who have an idea, please leave a reply or reblog on this post!

[haventacluewhatimdoing]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love *blasts you with sparkly hearts* ❤️💞🩷💖💗❤️💓❤️💝💕💘❤️💕❤️💘

Aah this is so sweet! I'm gonna have to look through all my stuff now...

I'm doing 5 different fandoms because I feel like it!

1. Jeeves and Wooster: Intersex!Wooster, Asexual!Wooster, pre-canon. Jooster. I'm so happy with how this one turned out, especially since I was so nervous to write it!

2. Goes Wrong Show: Each Cornley member comes out in their own way. ChrisTrev and Max/Sandra, Annie/Vanessa. Featuring every character, many different labels, and a variety of ways of coming out, which is why I love it so much!

3. BBC Merlin: Modern AU where Arthur is an English rugby player and Merlin is a Welsh water carrier. Merthur and Morgwen. I love this one because I love rugby player!Arthur and I'm a rugby fan in real life too, so I had fun getting to write about something I know about!

4. Classic Who: Two and Jamie wonder what the other sees in them. TwoJamie. This one was incredibly tough to pick because I think out of everything I've written I'm most proud of all my Classic Who ones. However, I think this one is my best ever attempt at conveying human emotion, thoughts and feelings, which is why I have chosen it. I feel like I really dived into why Two and Jamie think the way they do, which I highly enjoyed doing. Also a good dose of mutual pining which we always love.

5. BBC Ghosts: Modern AU where Pat and the Captain are teachers, and Thomas runs a cafe. PatCap. Also really hard to choose one of these, cos I have so many that I love! This one is dear to my heart though, and I come back to reread it whenever I need a quick dose of PatCap in my life. Also writing Thomas was a joy as I don't do that very often.

MC makes lunch for tired datables that have been stressed due to non-human related problems

All I have to say about this is yes.

And I am very sorry for taking so long to post this I'm currently very busy and very sick so I'm just trying to take it easy I hope you enjoy this 💙

Mc is non-binary pronounce is they/them

Fandom: obey me!

Pairing: datebles x mc

Category: fluff, comfort.

Taking care of my beloved

--------------------------------------------------

Diavolo

Dia always feels stressed to some level the responsibly of being the prince always put a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

He tries not to stress too much sometimes but it does get to him if there's a lot of work that he has to finish.

He sometimes destress by making activities, he has fun and so does everyone else except luci.

So our dear mc decided to make him lunch, they went to Barbatos asking him if they can take care of Dia for the day

Barbatos hesitated, but let mc do what they want in the end.

Which resulted in mc making Dia one of the human world foods that he enjoyed their eyebrows furrowed as they focused on making food for Dia.

After mc finished they went to Dia's office smiling proudly at the food they made, knocking on the door softly.

Mc entered the office after hearing Diavolo telling them to come in, as he focused on his work.

Mc smiled softly at the male moving to stand infront of his table placing the plate with food down.

Mc walked behind the male placing both of their hands on his shoulders massaging them softly, as they kissed the top of the male's head.

Diavolo ate his food enjoying the affection and the massage that definitely helped his very tense shoulder and back.

Mc left Dia after a few hugs, kisses, and a promise of cuddles after he finishes his work.

Dia goes back to his work definitely more energetic and motivated than before.

--------------------------------------------------

Barbatos

Barbatos is almost the same as Dia, always feeling stressed with duties around the castle and taking care of the adorable puppy like demon.

The sight of mc always helps the male feel relaxed though.

Mc once asked him if they could do anything to help him relax, he only answered with 'all I need to relax is you by my side'.

Mc almost melted on the spot, and showered the male in kisses and cuddles.

Mc decided today to ask Dia for permission to have Barbatos for the rest of the day, the prince agreeing almost immediately knowing his butler worked too hard sometimes.

Mc set up a picnic for themselves and Barbatos with tea and different types of sandwiches, and pastries they got help with from Luke who thought them almost everything he knew.

Mc asked Barbatos to come with them after he finished getting some tea to the prince taking hold of his soft gloved hands leading him outside the castle.

Barbatos may have thought about looking into the future to figure out where mc was taking him, but he decided against it trusting his beloved to take care of him.

Barbatos smiled softly at the cute picnic set up by his adorable partner kissing their knuckles softly.

Mc ushered the man to sit down serving him some tea with some herbs that they and Barbatos liked since trying it out a while ago.

Mc then brought out the tasty snacks showing them to Barbatos, letting the male decide for himself watching him with sparkly soft eyes.

The male decided to try a piece of cake his eyes closing softly as a his lips twitched into a gentle smile at the sweet treat.

Barbatos spent the rest of his break time trying out the snacks mc made as mc talked about their time making it, snuggling next to each other after enjoying the beautiful sky full of stars.

--------------------------------------------------

Simeon

Simeon is more of a relaxed person only getting stressed during certain situations.

One of the situations was writing.

It was more stressful than usual since the man had writer block, his mind getting blank anytime he thought about anything really.

Mc noticed that since it really showed on the angel when he was stressed his usually good posture got a little too stiff, his grip on things were a little tighter, he would clench his jaw more often then he normally did.

And he most importantly of all he was more quiet than he ever was, spacing out during most conversations and during classes.

Mc decided to treat their second favourite angel to a treat, their most favourite being Luke of course.

Mc got some help from Levi deciding to recreate a food from the beloved series Simeon wrote.

After reading the recipe almost ten times carefully mc decided to start cooking taking it slow as to not ruin the food.

After almost three hours mc successfully finished cooking, taking hold of the tray which had three plates on it full of different types of foods for the male.

Mc walked towards the angel's room, who was cooped up in his room trying to get any form of inspiration.

After a few soft knocks on the door Simeon opened the door gasping softly at the sight of the food in Mc's arms.

Simeon's eyes kept moving from the food to Mc's eyes as his eyes lit up in happiness a soft smile adoring his adorable face.

Simeon invited mc in marveling at the food asking if it was what he thought it was, only getting a soft chuckle and a kiss on the cheek for confirmation.

Simeon enjoyed the wonderful food kissing Mc's cheeks repeatedly as thanks.

The male got a spark of inspiration immediately pulling out his book and pen writing down multiple ideas down before going back to enjoy the food.

Simeon didn't let go of mc that night feeling very grateful for his human spending the rest of the night in the soft warm arms that made him feel like everything was right in the world.

--------------------------------------------------

Solomon

As fun and cheerful may this man seems to be he definitely feels stressed alot of the time.

His head filled with problems, worries, and other things that always clouded his heavy mind.

He always tries to take it easy, but the stress does catch up to all of us at one point or another.

And today was one of those says for the male.

He couldn't bring himself to get up from his bed feeling like his mind would explode if he had to do more things.

He decided to not go anywhere today and to only chill in his room and make spells that were fun to mess around with.

He informed mc of his absence in school getting a call immediately from a very worried mc.

His choice of words seemed to worry mc, he quickly explained saying he was just a little stressed and tired nothing else.

Mc finally calmed down deciding it was Solomon time.

Mc finished all their classes going to the grocery shop and buying a bunch of human foods going to visit Solomon and make him some nice cooked lunch.

Mc decided to not tell the male they were there until they finished, worried that he might try to help them since he wasn't allowed in the kitchen since he can't cook at all.

After an hour or so Mc went to Solomon's room greeting him with a soft kiss to his forehead sitting him down and telling him to eat.

The male definitely didn't eat anything since he woke up but he will never admit that.

Mc spent time with the male after snuggling him until they both fell into feel slumber their warm bodies making them both feel safe.

Thank you for reading all support is highly appreciated 💙

This is my writing please don't repost copy or claim as your own

[the-metatron]

Alright, Metatron. If you want Beelzebub (@lower-management and I to change you back from being Julia Child, will you please agree to all the terms and conditions listed on this contract by signing it as the Metatron (yourself)?

Although I have already been released from the Julia Child Curse, I'll humour your little contract, just for the fun of it. Let's go over it.

Beelzebub (@lower-management) and Puck (@Puck-the-devil) agree to turn The Metatronback to his original form if the formal agrees to follow/implement the requests that will now be stated:

The Metatron must not harass nor start any direct communication nor interaction with any member of the Morningstar family ever again.

This term is quite interesting considering the Morningstar Family often contacts me first. @helphowdoiusethis has consistently violated the terms of my restraining order against them and has faced no consequences for this.

The Metatron must ensure that @pret-a-metatron follows a decent amount of health codes, while ensuring Eddie (@e-w-w-morningstar) a permanent place in Pret a Metatron's walls.

These terms are contradictory. Having someone--human, termite, eldritch being--living in the walls is a violation of the health codes itself.

The Metatron (@the-metatron) must immediately give full permanent custody of all of Eddie's children to Van (@professional-termite), which also means physically handing them (the children) over to the former.

Eddie does not want custody. He informed me of this himself.

If he has changed his mind, I will hand over PARTIAL custody of the children, but he still owes me back child support for the months I have been raising them alone.

The Metatron (@the-metatron) must stop harassing and flirting with Echo (@echosghoast) ever again. The Metatron is also not to start any type of conversation nor interaction with the former ever again.

I do not recall having flirted with this individual, but if they do not contact me, I will not contact them. This is the first agreeable term.

The Metatron is not to start any type of communication nor interaction with Uriel (@urielwiththegoodhair) ever again.

As the Voice of God, I must communicate with the angels who work under me (this is not a sex joke, by the way, just the corporate structure) in Heaven. If Uriel does not wish to have communication, then they are effectively resigning from Heaven. Is this their intention?

The Metatron is not to scream at nor harass Minnie (@tiny-anon) ever again.

I have never screamed at or harassed this person. I merely offered them coffee and cookies. If this constitutes harassment, then the Girl Scouts are the largest group of organized harassers in the world.

The Metatron is not to attempt to nor successfully drug @sparkly-soda ever again.

This person came to me requesting a beverage (boba/bubble tea, I believe), which I complied and provided. If people solicit my beverages, I have the right to provide them without being accused of drugging them. Caffeine may be a drug, but is a legal one.

The Metatron is to suck on an egg (that will not turn into a nor multiple children) in a not sexual way right after the signing of this contract, he may stop after 2 minutes.

There is no possible way for me to suck on an egg and have it not be sexual. I would enjoy it too much. Also, I don't think I would be able to last the full two minutes. As previously stated, I would enjoy it too much.

All the terms must be respected from the moment this contract is signed and through the rest of eternity unless stated otherwise, no matter which form the different parties might take.

Any twisting of the obvious meaning of the contract will not be accepted and will give Lord Beelzebub and Puck the right to refuse to follow up on their part of the deal and, in case which their part was already completed, to turn The Metatron back in his "Julia Child" form.

I will not sign your contract until you address my concerns explained above. Furthermore, as I am no longer affected by the Julia Child Curse, you'll have to find a new way to motivate me to sign at all. Perhaps undoing what @one-coming-is-enough did with the Book of Life to turn me into @enoch-the-human.

My reactions to Evangelion episode 23: Rei III

The really sucky thing about watching after my kid goes to bed is that by then I am wiped out and far less alert so I feel like I can't pay attention as well.

She's listening to the message again 🥲

Poor Shinji doesn't know what to do about his houseful of traumatized women. He's really so timid.

Poor class rep lol

I'm glad she has someone to open up to.

Poor Asuka. She just needs to feel loved the way she is.

That Angel looks like a halo.

Asuka has lost all her confidence.

It got unit 0 right in the gut!

Rei seems to almost be enjoying this.

"The person we call an Angel."

Rei has a very skewed and confused sense of self, and as a result I feel like I also don't know which version of her is the real version during this conversation. To me, it's not as clearly differeniated as when Asuka and Shinji had to confront their own inner demons. I think the bumpy one is the real Rei and the smooth one is the Angel trying to communicate. I'm going to rewind.

That's still what I think.

Poor Asuka. "Why didn't you send unit 1 when I was in trouble?" Well, Asuka, because Gendo is a douchebag. But Shinji did want to save her.

She sucked in the Angel. She's going to sacrifice herself for Shinji. Or is it for Gendo?

That was a very metaphysical explosion with the Eva/Angel hybrid thing turning into a giant Rei and then going up in a pink, sparkly puff (before the real blast).

So there are 17 Angels in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

"Another sacrificial lamb"

Someone who knows the whole truth. Of course it's Ritsuko.

Weird moment between Shinji and Misato.

"Rei. She was the product of my despair. I suppose she's always been a vessel of hope for you."

Are these the same injuries she had when he first saw her? Is this because she's a copy?

"No. I don't remember. It's probably because I am the third one." Well!

I was like, "If she throws out those glasses, I'll know she's a doppelganger" and then she starting squeezing them.

They made Ritsuko strip down.

They need 12 Evas for their plan and think the obliteration of Tokyo-3 will help their plans as well. Maybe I'm just making random associations, but there were 12 disciples. Is that relevant? Idk.

Ritsuko called Shinji and said he can safely go outside.

Misato shows up to threaten Ritsuko into telling her all her secrets and it turns out Shinji is there. Why are you dragging my baby boy into this drama?

Artificial Evolution Laboratory!!!

Okay, I'm not going to comment during this next bit. I want to watch uninterrupted.

Okay, so, first, when Ritsuko was inferred she had a secret love, I was like, "Ew, what if it's Gendo?" but I didn't want to speak it into existence, but it looks like it was. Maybe they weren't having an affair, but I think this confirms she at least has feelings for him. But, Gendo seems to have a thing for screwing lovely lady scientists so that they'll help him with his warped goals, so most likely they were fooling around.

Second, Evas being human is not a surprise. I suspected they were at least part from the moment I saw those fingernails. I knew there was something off about them. So, humans made in Adam's image, which is kind of delicious because the biblical Adam was the first human made in God's image, but in NGE Adam is the god and Evas are made in his image. Kind of feels like making a photocopy of a photocopy. No wonder the Evas are messed up.

Third, I knew something was up with Rei but I did not go so far as to guess she was an Eva! The only Eva with a soul. That tank full of smiling, empty copies that they use for parts to repair her with... chilling. I would not like to be in that room full of Reis. And then to see them all destroyed. When a Rei dies, does her soul go into another one, though?

Also, not totally clear on this, is there a blank Rei in the dummy plug, then?

If Rei is an Eva, is she reading the thoughts of those around her? Is that why she seems to have "synced" with Shinji in a way? Is her apparent issue with multiple personalities simply her vibing with people on a different, more psychic level because she is part Angel?

In Closing

We should be finding out what happened to Shinji's mother when she vanished soon. It's been referred to pretty consistently over the past few episodes and I'm wodnering if that will be the final key to everything. When she disappeared, did her soul go into Rei? Is that how she was the only Eva born with a soul? There's too much evidence that Yui and Rei are linked. And Gendo naming her Rei indicates he must see her as his and Yui's daughter of sorts, which also makes me further believe Yui is in her somehow. Or maybe the Eva merged with Yui and changed her into baby Rei.

The skeletons were an interesting touch. Were they trying to make the Evas big and pilotable at first or did that become necessary due to the need for them to have a soul (even if it's not theirs) physically present inside them to be functional?

Hm. Lots to think about.

Also, with Asuka, I'm not sure if she's going to have a burst of recklessness that endangers her or if she's going to give up completely. She and Shinji are actually a lot alike. They both want to be loved. They just handle it very differently. Asuka wants to force it out of them and Shinji just makes himself available and agreeable to coax them to care about him. It's like when people become low maintenance to their own detriment. Whereas Asuka has elected to become high maintenance, perhaps to make people prove their care for her by doing what she wants them to.

I really hope they get even a few minutes of relief from their suffering before they are unfortunately sacrificed to further whatever Gendo is trying to do or for Seele's goals. One or the other. I'm not expecting any of these kids to survive, quite frankly.

Do you think Ritsuko dyes her hair so she won't look like her mother when she hooks up with Gendo? Like, she doesn't want him to think of her mom who banged him first? Food for thought.

[freedfromthegalactichivemind]

I just want to take a moment to wonder / baffle at how different fandoms can be. It seems like some things are constant between all fandoms - an abundance of smutfic and art, self-insert and OC character-creation fun, people inserting characters into popular memes, people making the wildest aus (Let's fanart them as werewolves!" and the like). However, there are just such interesting differences. In Spop fandom, I will never, NEVER get over how much visceral HATRED exists for Hordak on one "side" of the fandom and how much of the same kind of hatred exists for Catra on another "side" of the fandom. Additionally, discourse over Glimmer and etc. It seems like all the people in this fandom (who haven't just said hang it all to just make cute fanart and funny comics) talk about are WAR CRIMES and "who deserves redemption more?" in a show that is clearly about restoration and kindness. Horde Prime's destroying planets aside, I can count the canonical deaths in this series ON ONE HAND. And everyone's upset at all of the war crimes committed in a largely non-lethal local-to-the-main-setting-planet war on this... almost utopian planet where we'd all probably like to live. Meanwhile, over in Trigun fandom... The body count is in the literal millions and not in passing mentions of genocide Jell-O at dinner, but in triumphant arms to the sky as a burning fleet of spaceships incinerate in the sky in a deliberate attempt at a genocide (not as a side-effect of ruling). Many on-screen deaths of characters you get to KNOW. There is this huge complex moral dilemma centered around the survival-needs of a population that depends upon sentient beings that are both dependent upon them and overused and abused by them. There's another huge complex moral dilemma revolving around the justification of lethal force vs. the prices of a life of chosen, ardent pacifism. It's not a Y-7 series by any means and the manga / comics version of it gets really super dark (yet somehow Trigun Stampede made the Tesla-arc even darker, bravo, I'm gonna be sick). And yet the villains - from the mini-boss assassin characters to the ur-villain who LITERALLY WANTS TO DESTROY ALL OF HUMANITY and also wishes to manipulate his hero-brother to his side through severe traumatizing emotional torture... it's like... there are loads of people in this fandom who are "Oh, Millions Knives is my favorite character!" and it doesn't seem like anyone bats an eyelash. There are probably more fandom essays exploring Knives' side of things and why he feels the way he does and how his character-arc makes sense than even people in any way actively against him. Yes, most people in this fandom "side with Vash" (as do I), but it's like... we understand the villain here, or try to, and here's a fandom where people find sympathy for and "humanity" in the blatantly cruel person who on-screen slaughters swaths of people in some of the most gruesome ways possible. It's like, in this fandom, if someone's a Knives-fan, or a Legato-fan, or a Midvalley-fan, or even those of us who love the greatest villain of all, he who shines in the darkness, BRILLIANT DYNAMITES NEON!!! (oh, my two-episode wonder, missed you in Stampede oh so much, my sparkler-smoking baby...) it's like... no one cares? It's like "Yeah, they're great characters, aren't they?" It's just so... different. In the non-fatal sparkly princess show, everyone's scrutinizing everyone else for liking characters who do (largely non-lethal) WAR CRIMES! and then the mature-anime/manga fandom I am in where there's this whole extinction of humanity and the uses of their adjacent created-resource-species at stake everyone's like... chill. And enjoying the villains - and different ones, at that, is NORMAL.

Hi Jalebi!

I'm the anon who said you produce gold content. I saw your reply to my ask and it was the cutest my gosh 🥺

I have a question! On the last night at buaji's house (the night before the suicide track), he listened in to what Khushi said to her friends and her mum abt her marriage and Arnav being a great husband respectively. Could this have made him realise that maybe, just maybe he could salvage and save the marriage?

While Khushi was sleeping, he held her hand and looked at her with all the love in the world before going to sleep.

Did he do this because

1. Arnav was slowly accepting that despite wtv happened with Shyam he still wants Khushi. Despite the betrayal, despite the hurt. (am i reading into his behaviour correctly?).

2. Or was he beginning to feel that maybe Khushi was innocent in all this?

If Khushi had not thought that Arnav was trying to harm her how would the next morning play out? Would Arnav lowkey flirt with her, while she is all bashful.

Yours truly,

Hello Gold Content Anon!

(yes this name works)

I think until this point Arnav did not realize the effect of this traumatizing marriage on Khushi. He thought she'd enjoy class, material wealth and immediate standing in society she got through to him.

That of course she wants wealth. Mrs. Raizada is a powerful tag.

But the conversation with her friends - one he accidentally overheard - is an insight he did not consider. In fact, given the circumstances, it is one that did not cross his mind.

It's evident what Khushi wanted in a marriage were the usual little hopes and dreams. Pretty sparkly jewelry and clothes, all tied to her favorites, and perhaps a husband who is very very loving.

Even as a lie, Arnav sees the first time Khushi is actively lying and that she is terrible at it. Khushi is not a good liar. Yes, she lies, frequently so, and for him to see this world of happiness she is building for her friends and family to see is painful.

Because he is aware of what kind of a husband he is.

So he's very taken aback, emotional, and does not know what to do. I believe Arnav is also aware that Khushi is operating on a space of just not knowing what happened, and he's just trying to make her life less painful out of humanity.

If things didn't go weirdly, you would have seen Arnav just try to make her life less difficult.

Also, it's the first time Arnav sees legit sorrow and pain in Khushi regarding the wedding - otherwise it's been... idk... stupidity or stubbornness (I'm always too exhausted to analyze Khushi then).

Also, Arnav feels guilty. That's a look of guilt towards a person he has feelings for. He wouldn't flirt at all - they'd actually reach this stage of him just being soft, helpful, and her not having words because even his kindness is not normalcy.

Remember the way Khushi blast on Arnav during the hospital because he paid the bills. Again, that's such a normal human thing to do - help someone out with their medical bills. But her and Arnav's relationship has been so bitter that even his kindness feels like there's an ulterior motive on his end and she feels she has to justify a kindness she didn't ask for.

Something similar might happen, his kindness might destabilize her because she expects insults and anger. That is the unfortunate normalcy. On a far more serious note, it might emotionally tear her while giving her the slightest bit of hope.

Best,

Jalebi
