Further examples of the Twitter bot epidemic
This was on 1 post with 19k likes and 500 reposts
I think these are hacked accounts as some of them are are years old. Others were made a few months ago. No clue how it’s profitable to pay for blue checks for them when they never get interaction beyond a few likes or someone pointing out it’s a bot.
If you don’t know, blue checks get paid for interactions. Not a lot though. These bots aren’t breaking even so they’re either being paid with stolen credit cards or whoever is running this still has hope it will be profitable soon.
Or if you want to be conspiratorial about it, maybe Twitter is the one making these bots to boost their user activity LMAO
I don’t think this is the case as every wave of bots has been the same “genre” of account. Previously it was the “my pussy in bio” ones. Then they became “my pics in profile”. Then they started posting straight up nsfw in replies or would just advertise free OF. Now we have these bots. The girl bots still exist but are mostly spamming DMs now instead of posting openly. Also there has always been a stream of crypto bots who post ai shit but they have never completely taken over replies like the other ones.

seventeen as dads headcanons
content: reader is married to svt, normative(?) family structure, literally just unhinged thoughts, not proofread lol
note: was trying to write an actual fic but then got distracted sorry, dadventeen brainrot is so real
Seungcheol
Super protective “don’t touch my family” dad outwardly
All of his kids’ friends are straight up SCARED of him
But within the household he's the one sneaking ice cream when you say no, albeit guiltily
Shopping trips with him will always result in buying something for them and he is very willing to be taken advantage of
“Babe if I can’t spoil them now, they’re gonna grow up and move out before we know it!”
Tries his best to be handy around the house, but probably makes it worse, ends up calling Mingyu to come fix it
Jeonghan
DEFINITELY a “go ask your mom” dad
This man not only powerless, he doesn't even want the power, he's just here to have a good time and if you say they can't, then sorry kiddo
You can’t tell me that he doesn’t bring up becoming a family prank channel at least once a week
LOVES bragging to everyone else about his kid’s achievements, cannot shut up about them to anyone in a 5 foot radius tbh
His kids definitely talk to him about everything, which is great because he is SO nosy.
Has a list of all their best friends, enemies, and crushes at school somewhere on his notes app for future reference when they come to him for advice
Joshua
The REAL practical joke dad, admittedly made them cry a few times when they were younger and felt really bad about it
Perfect sweet husband and father in image, all of his kids know he’s actually lame af
Dominates the summer barbeques, UNDISPUTED GRILLMASTER
Super dependable, will drop everything if his family needs him and never goes back on his word
Gives surprisingly good fashion advice
Jun
Definitely walks around the neighborhood with his baby in a sling carrier strapped to his front, POINTS AT EVERYTHING OF INTEREST
When they start learning how to speak he adopts all his baby’s weird mannerisms (it started off as a cute joke but then realized he couldn’t stop)
Cries at every baby milestone until they’re like 10
Will not stop bringing up embarrassing childhood moments, especially in front of their kids’ friends/significant others
Cuts fruit for them instead of apologizing
Hoshi
Will fully ally himself with his kids
Like legit would do anything for them. ANYTHING.
I’m talking borderline go to his kid's school to beat up their hypothetical bullies himself sort of dad
The kids can always count on him to say yes if you say no
Absolutely DEVASTATED when they grow out of the tiger stuff he buys for them and become angsty teens
“What do you mean tigers aren’t cool? Do you not love your old man anymore?”
Wonwoo
Quiet doting dad
Definitely more affectionate when the kids are younger but gets into the awkward advice-giving stage when they grow up
LAME DAD JOKES GALORE, groaning is a regular activity in this household
Tries to google basic algebra every time his kids ask for help on math homework because he doesn’t want to admit he forgot everything
Chaotic af unsupervised. “Guess we’re having pizza again tonight kiddos” kinda dad because he cannot and should not cook
Jihoon
Another quiet dad, but make it savage
I feel like he would just love roasting his kids (affectionately of course)
And always overwhelmingly acts of service so his kids know they are loved
Allowance randomly appearing under their pillow, their favorite foods magically stocked in the fridge, always relenting to one last bedtime story no matter how tired he is
Would let you have final say but he makes it really clear he’s on their side and empathizes with them but its out of his hands
“Next time just don’t get caught, okay?” *winks*
Minghao
Loves loves loves just spending time with his babies
Doesn’t matter what he’s doing he just wants to be in the same room as them or cuddling and holding them
Emphasizes equality in your relationship so his kids can grow up with those values and learn to respect others
TURNS EVERYTHING INTO A LIFE LESSON OH MY GOD
Doesn’t believe in allowances but will cave and literally buy them anything they want if they ask
Would rather die than miss any important event (competition, speech, recital, talent show, graduation, etc.)
Mingyu
Absolute super dad, what can’t he do? Nonstop home improvement projects, cooks anything his kids are craving, offers to drive everyone everywhere
But also the whiniest dad ever lol constantly complains about people “ruining his system”
Absolutely FUCKS at the school bake sales, earns them twice the target fundraiser amounts because he's dilf material and knows how to get the moms to spill their pockets
Likes to have the final say, but you’re both usually on the same page in regards to discipline so his kids aren’t getting away with anything
Just the most supportive dad in the universe, the kids learn to never take him for granted
Seokmin
You already know his kids are gonna be spoiled rotten. He will be the favorite parent by default sorry I don't make the rules!!
His arms are the very definition of a safe space
Leaves all the discipline to you because he cannot keep a straight face when delivering a lecture (one time he made them cry and also ended up crying because he felt so bad)
Does so much embarrassing shit just to cheer his kids up when they have a bad day, acts surprised when they tell him he's cringe
Such a pushover that they are probably gonna make fun of him when they're older, but that's okay because they know there's no universe in which their dad will stop loving them
Seungkwan
As long as he can pick them up still, his kids are never on the ground for too long
Two words: SPORTS. DAD.
He could practically captain the cheerleading teams at their school with how many events he's been to
Knows all of his kids’ friends parents, they all get together and have coffee once a month actually
Nags nonstop and complains about everything he has to do for them, but is always diligent and does it without question
Gets so pouty when they start getting embarrassed to show affection, he WILL get his cheek kisses if it's the last thing he does!!
Vernon
Chillest dad in existence?!?
Literally as long as his kids are safe he doesn't give a single fuuuuckkk
“Sleepover? Yeah, call me when you're done and I'll pick you up.”
He WILL argue with you if he doesn't think there's a good reason to say no to them
So cute and encouraging to all their weird hobbies and phases throughout the years. “Lemme see” and “Really? Show me” are regular phrases in his vocabulary
His kids are definitely gonna inherit his legendary facial expressions afnngjdg
Chan
Super affectionate and doting, but also quite strict with them at times
“I just want the best for you, I want to see you succeed”
HAS A PHOTO OF THEM READY AT ANY TIME, lockscreen is a different shot of his kids every day and is eager to show it off even if no one asked
Not so subtly signs his kid up for dance lessons
Just the most encouraging dad ever, makes sure that they know making mistakes are a part of life and that he will always love them no matter what

A copy of my liveblog on discord through the entire DSMP portion of Jack’s stream. If you can’t watch it, this give you the gist, and every piece of lore.
Okay I’m ready
Jacks getting himself into lore mode
“Wiki updaters get ready. Play some jump in the cadillac”
Surreal
Tumblr media
Okay he just got distracted by a tweet apparently rosanna pansino is siccing the FBI on mr beast
It’s happening
HES IN PANDORAS VAULT
elder guardian jumpscare
My god the last time I saw this room technoblade was streaming
Disclaimer I was not interested at all in jacks pov so I will not be understanding any references to his own lore. Manishroom. Appears to hold emotional weight
“Wonder where all my friends are (opens tab) ……..oh. Guess I’m here alone.”
Tumblr media
“Legitimately emotional. God this is so fuckin’ stupid bro…..I actually got sad. Toby gave me this mushroom on [my] very first day [on the server]”
Calls joining the dsmp as the beginning of the career he has now (affectionately)
Does not know how he got in this prison or how to get out. Trying to remember Sam’s secrets /hj
HES CALLING TOMMY OJ THE PHONE FOR HELP. Tommy is in the bathroom
The phone at the mic. We’re truly back
Jack lost a bet to Tubbo (You Laugh, You Loose) and that’s why he’s on the server now
Surprised that it survives intact to this day. “So I’m actually uh. Trapped in the prison. And I think [Tommy] had OP— not to spoil the illusion”
Tommy never sucked up enough for OP. He was a true bad boy
“Fuck me, man” -Tommy realizing he’s gotta log on to the dsmp
“It’s like looking a dead child in the eyes” -tommy
“Yeah I expected to laugh at that dead child! And now here I am feeling real remorse” -jack
“Oh, christ…….” -tommy getting on
Jack very nearly leaked the dream smp IP in the year of our lord 2024
Tommy was in fact getting ready for bed and has been thrust back into the horrors of his OC
I can’t tell if this horrid audio lag is legit or intentional for lore. The dsmp streamers have returned to gaslighting— oh no it’s legit he’s trying to fix it lmao
Tommy does not have OP on the dsmp but Toby does
Jack is ringing toby
Toby is not picking up
Near leak number 2
TUBBO ACQUIRED
Toby is coming
The DSMP remains a viewer spawnrate hack
The prison has been broken for ages
TUBBO ONLINE
“Everyone’s logging on to break me outta the prison. I gotta put on my lore music”
He has initiated his lore music
Toby is experiencing technical difficulties
Best lore stream ever
Discussing the ending. Mixed feelings on it
This server is so laggy
It will not let Tubbo in
Jack is mortified at pinging the DSMP discord server. However he is threatening to dm badboyhalo to get out of this place
TUBBO LOST HIS OP
toby has departed.
Bad is busy. Jack is dming a secret server operator guy that he hasn’t talked to in years
“We can at this point only pray”
“Get Phil do it” -chat
Jack is refusing. I would die. WAIT HE IS
SECRET GUY PULLED THROUGH
HE HAS BEEN TELEPORTED
WE ARE BACK
Man. The random messes in the sky…..
“IT WAS COOL?!” Jack seeing Las Nevadas
Tumblr media
The lag is insane
I’m not being dramatic this is literally the first time I’ve ever seen the inside of the casino
Tommy has rejoined
I think they’re entering lore mode
It’s begun
Tumblr media
Jack has canonically been alone at the casino this entire time
“We can make it canon that I’ve been here the whole time” -jack
“Chat, L’Manburg doesn’t exist anymore. We can’t go back there. Now let’s win big” -jack
He has semi broken the roulette wheel. He freaks out, like man who’s lived his life in solitude at that table for years. He walks outside. He gasps,
“Is that…t-t-t-tommy?” -c!jack
c!tommy has arrived.
Tumblr media
c!tommy is asking “seriously, what happened”
c!jack is having him fix the wheel
Tumblr media
All Jack cares about is the wheel. You can practically hear Tommy. They (characters) are back
He’s following tommy somewhere
“I have a house. It’s nice.” -c!tommy
c!Jack knows he could just take the money but he’s been surviving off the thrill of gambling
Tumblr media
c!Tommy moved far away from the central zone. Brings back too much. Feels unreal seeing it again
“Joy, fun, sadness, pain, too much of it all” -c!tommy
They’re approaching the community house.
Tumblr media
Oh my god
Are they going where I think they’re going
I know this path
Tumblr media
I’m going to explode. Jack doesn’t know where they are
c!tommy doesn’t live here
“No. Oh god, no” - c!tommy at the idea of living here
HE COMES HERE A LOT THOUGH
Tumblr media
Sidenote what’s crazy is the server remaining intact yet abandoned and tommy just living here in peace, with everyone just gone and jack being surprised to see him here, fits perfectly with my own headcanon of what happened to the group in the end
c!Jack jokes about buying c!techno’s house. Is told it’s techno’s house. Immediately, comedically, backtracks
c!Technoblade doesn’t even live here but c!jack knows to still put respect on that man’s name
He calls techno living here ‘cultural significance’ this is hilarious from a character pov
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
he looked at the compound and types “o7”
Tumblr media
tommy just sure here outside the fence and sits here “as long as he needs to. Sometimes minutes, sometimes hours”
This is making me ill in every context including that of my headcanons
It appears tommy was for retconning the nuke but jack would rather keep it
Jack’s officially called it the epilogue
The nether……
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hes realized his mistake of sprinting on the prime path. Everyones subbing
Bench spotted
Tumblr media
SNOWCHESTER.
Tumblr media
Reminiscing in his old house
Looked through the nuke lab. Chat is screaming because he didn’t check on Micheal (guys he’s with his honey-vendor dad of course)
Walking through the battlefield of the prison escape. Like he’s trying to murder me
………
Tumblr media
Disregard that. Death begins now.
“There it is! The first place I was a part of. Then technoblade nuked it”
Tumblr media
“And now I’m here. And this is the ruin.”
To paraphrase: he really came here expecting to make fun; he’s thought of the smp as something behind him, and it is. He came here to have a laugh but it’s…nice. This arc is finally, fully closed. He is planting the Manishroom, the one thing he’s maintained since day 1, in his original L’Manburg house.
“God just— picking through ruins to make this. So…poetic”
“Not even a lore-bit, this just feels like a nice way to close it out. That feels important to me. Thank you for being here,”
Tumblr media
“I always felt like part of the [dsmp] group. Now I feel like my own guy. Really is a new arc”
“I didn’t like letting go of the mushroom. Felt like I wanted to cling on to it forever. But I feel like this was the right thing to do.”
Some more personal reminiscing at the end
Tumblr media
Returning to the roulette wheel at Las Nevadas; c!Jack Manifold’s final resting place. Getting that big win; all in on red!

I'm confused as some may see Mike and El potentially having a big happy making out scene as something positive for the byler just because it is parallel (another) with other ships like Stancy. Like, it doesn’t matter that this is another big parallel? Jonathan and Nancy, after Stancy’s biggest scene, became a couple only after a season and a half, and all this time the conflict between Nancy and Steve became stronger. By the way, i’m not trying to somehow erase the evidence of the byler, I’m just confused because this particular parallel simply doesn’t make sense as a positive one simply because the context of the story is different from what Stancy had..
Hi anon! Thanks for the ask. This’ll be a bit long lmao
Honestly I don’t even think that leak is real anyway, so I’m not paying much mind to it when it comes to my own theories. There really isn’t much context, so it’s kind of difficult to extrapolate much based off of it.
Personally, I just can’t really imagine the show putting that sort of scene in there. I think people are drawing those parallels because makeout scenes aren’t really the show’s style, unless it’s to communicate something negative. Sta/ncy is performative and lacks genuineness, Bob dies, and Mike and El’s s3 scene is uncomfortable to watch, is shot to be vaguely voyeuristic, and is undercut with Hopper’s discomfort. So to answer your question, I guess that’s the theme people are picking up on when they say it could be a parallel. However, I agree that people turning it around into something positive for byler are also doing a lot of assumption of context in order to place it among their pre-existing theories, so it’s hard to tell all round.
As I’ve said though, I truly don’t think it’s real. I find it hard to place how it would work in the season on the whole, especially since Mike and El don’t appear to have many scenes together past the first episode, since we know Finn and Millie are on extremely different schedules. They’re playing so coy about it too and just seem to be bouncing ideas off each other, so I don’t think it comes from a genuine source. And of course this comes up right after that love interest “leak” for Will 🙄 (I don’t think rejectedscooper, who said that, is legit either, for the record).
So yeah, it doesn’t surprise me that people are trying to figure out how it would work into their theories, and there definitely is a pattern with how the show portrays these things, but without context there is no way to know, and I’m really not going to trust this leak when Mike and El aren’t spending the majority of the season together, it seems to be at odds with what we know about their storylines moving forward, and the source is dyersfilms of all people and “I saw it with my own eyes.” Be fr

FR I feel that if you tossed the Genshin guys into a romance sim, it would actually be pretty legit-looking. Now if only there were some sort of actual Genshin otome game 😭 (if I could romance Kaveh in such a game, I think I would die and go to heaven)
Yeahhh I feel that there is such a pattern among male and female characters. Like for female characters, I guess that the ones who are kind of more… “male-gazey” are less likely to be popular with women? Like in terms of both appearance and personality. Though even this is difficult to define. Ladies like Beidou and Dehya seem to be REALLY popular with girls, at least in the west (if I am wrong tho plz correct me). Even Navia (whose design I suppose shows a lot of skin) seems to be well-liked by guys and girls alike, I follow a girl on here who is absolutely crazy for her (and tbh I am no different 😭). To me I guess that for these three, they’re good role models for girls so that contributes to their appeal to women players? Cos they have strong, confident attitudes and kick hella ass, but they’re also kind + beautiful… so I suppose they’re like, people you could admire on an aesthetic and personal level but also you could aspire to be like them.
To be fair I like Lisa as I remember running around as her a lot when I first started playing (and chatting with her cai bot gets wild sometimes cos she’s always calling me out for like low self esteem, bad mentality, etc 😭😭), in general I like all of the girl characters ahahahah though for Lisa and many others I could def see how they’d have more appeal to guys.
And for guy characters, I’ve seen guy players admire Diluc and Alhaitham ! Like they have a sort of “masculine” appeal, aspirational for guys I think. I’ve even seen some guys on the Alhaitham subreddit start to hit the gym to become buff like him 😮 Sorry for digressing so much with this topic ahahah just that it is very interesting to consider.
My BF has been fueling my Kaveh love AHAHAHA like when I’m using his computer he lets me run around as Kaveh as I haven’t been able to pull for him yet. Now I have much more Kaveh merch than before but I think that I will try to amass even more…
Ooooo that makes sense, yeah cons do get pretty crowded esp in the areas like the artist alley where people are crowding around booths. And maybe it’s for the best that you avoid cons cos (TMI in advance) the con stink is REAL 😭🤢🤮 Though some of them apparently distribute deodorant or soap for attendees, hopefully it alleviates the smell…
Yeahhh Touhou is hella old, like the franchise is older than I am (I was born shortly before the first windows OS game in the series came out 🫡). I know that ZUN is still producing new official games about every 2-3 years, and for merch I see that there are fumo plushies for the newer characters coming out, a pleasant surprise. But I think the barrier of entry is much higher due to the nature of the games so it’s less “mainstream” for young people compared to Genshin, as Genshin you could easily download if you have phone, iPad, non-mac computer, etc. But from what I’ve seen, you could encounter stuff of the most popular characters at cons if you keep your eyes peeled.
On the topic of merch (crazy complaint incoming!!!)… so I posted a pic of my Kaveh haul somewhere and someone made a comment alluding to that ship. This was the first thing I saw this morning, and OMG I was so irritated that I straight up blocked this person 😭 Sadly I can’t remove their comment (this would be more ideal). I guess this is rather extreme reaction as the comment was harmless… though in the description I literally put some unhinged stuff about “oh me and Kaveh are gonna get married” so I was wondering how they did not get the hint that “oh, this person doesn’t care for that ship.” I am bewildered that the shippers are everywhere, feels bad cos in the community I’m in, most of them are so so sweet but majority of them are also shippers of that ship.
Like when I see an arbitrary pic of [any Genshin guy] or Aventurine, I don’t go “ooooh la la Lumine’s gonna get that” or “hehe Stelle or Topaz is gonna enjoy this” respectively… ofc this is first world “problem” but still… they tether Kaveh to feeble scholar so much 😭
Also I was on a small yumejoshi community and I found a girl who is also Kaveh enjoyer, and who also feels uncomfy with the shippy stuff. It was a pleasant surprise that there are other Kaveh likers with a similar POV to us, since from my observation I see that many of them like that one ship along with him.
This got so long and convoluted, I hope it is not difficult to read !!! It does not help that I am currently running on some 3 hours of sleep and a can of green tea (it has no effect on me). If there is anything that needs to be clarified plz let me know !
-🍓
Genshin girls in general are quite good, both on a design and personality level. Many of them are popular with women because, as you said, they look pretty while being badass. It also helps that the writing for female characters has improved significantly over the years, making them more fleshed out and complex.
I didn’t like Lisa’s flirtatious attitude at the start, but I have grown to love her a lot, and got excited whenever she appeared in events. I wish there was more of her, tbh. Navia is also my favorite Fontaine character overall! I saved for her so much.
I adore most of the Genshin ladies, actually. The only ones I dislike are Ei and Yae Miko.
Yeah, I think the cool and stoic type of male characters are more popular with guys. And I remember seeing that one guy on the Alhaitham sub! I wonder if he reached his goal?
I… never even thought about how stuffy and smelly cons would be. Lord, that makes me want to go even less. Ew 😣
I looked up when the first Touhou game came out, and it seems like it released the year I was born. So yeah, the franchise is hella old… But I thinks it’s nice that it still has fans even to this day. Even if it’s become harder to find fan content of it 😔
I’m so sorry you had to wake up to a comment alluding to That One Ship, especially since you simply wanted to share something you enjoy. The way a lot of shippers post obnoxious ship comments under art depicting a solo character is a serious problem. It’s very annoying to constantly be reminded of a ship you dislike, plus ruins the enjoyment you could have derived from the post itself. For whatever reason, I only see it happen for m/m and f/f ships.
It’s not wrong of you to block the person. If they make you uncomfortable, then the best thing to do is quietly block them. The Japanese and Chinese fandom communities often recommend to others to block liberally so they can create a safe space for themselves online and not see things they dislike. It’s all about protecting your mental health and having a comfortable space.
I am also sorry to say that a lot of people don’t check bios, or simply don’t care about your boundaries. Once, I had a few shippers of that ship follow me on Twitter despite my bio saying for fans of that ship to not follow me. Even after I made a tweet saying I’m uncomfortable with such individuals following me, one of them left a like and continued to follow me 😐 They knew but disrespected my boundaries, so I removed them.
It might seem harsh to block or remove people over ship differences, but in our modern era of toxic ship discourse and harassment, I don’t blame anyone for feeling triggered by certain ships or their fans. It’s much better to block a stranger online than subject yourself to psychological torture. The other person will forget about it in time, if they ever even find out you blocked them at all.
lol trust me when I say there are a much bigger number of Kaveh-lovers in the yume community who also don’t like his ship with a certain Scribe! I’m friends with a few of them. In fact, my entire social media circle is of Kaveh fans who like him exclusively with girls.
I feel like the Japanese and Chinese yume communities are better on that front compared to the English yume community. I try to stay away from English communities in general…
Sorry that my response also got so long. I hope you can get more than 3 hours of sleep tonight! The weekend is almost here, so here’s to hoping you can sleep in!

A Miguel O'hara x OC fanfic - link to AO3 (X)
Chapter 52: Lost - previous chapter (X)
Pairing: Miguel O'hara x Female Spidersona OC
Words: 3.5K+ words
Warnings: PG for mentions a panic and/or anxiety attack
Summary: The webslingers hatch a plan to rescue Kasey.
////////
“So Hugh Everett’s theory about other dimensions is legit?” Toya’s eyes were bug eyed wide, as well as Touga and Hannah after I had finished sharing my story. 
I told them everything. From when I got bitten by the spider, Miguel and Peter B. rescued me whilst introducing me to the Spider Society and ultimately joining them to control my new powers. The rest they had pretty much already knew to an extent, as far as me and Miguel dating goes. 
“Pretty much,” I innocently shrug my shoulders. “If there’s another universe that has Spider-Man in someway, shape, or form, it exists.”
“So like a spiderverse?” Touga asks, his fingers waving with a dramatic flare. 
“Spiderverse?” Miguel huffs, crossing his arms over his puffed chest. “The technical term is the arachno-humanoid poly-multiverse.”
Everyone gawks in Miguel’s direction, myself included. I clear my throat, offering him a playful smile as I nudge his side. “Soooo, the spiderverse?”
Miguel rolled his eyes, but gave me a ghost of a smirk. “In the simplest of terms I suppose, yes, a spiderverse, if you will,”
“So the characters, er, I guess, those people, everyone we saw was real?” Toya went on, stepping forward as the more he talked, the more calm and relaxed he appeared to be processing all of this. 
Hannah gulps suddenly. “Including the villains?” She shuddered, Touga wrapping a comforting arm around her shoulders. 
“Especially the villains.” I nodded firmly. 
“So, Chameleon, Vulture, Green Goblin. . .” Touga mumbled as his voice wandered before shaking his head, speaking up. “All of that was real.”
I nodded again.
“But they looked different from what we know of them,” Touga quickly realized, his mind racing thinking back to just mere minutes ago.
“Think of the Multiverse like a giant spider-web, with lots of interconnecting webs and nodes,” Miguel explained, his arm open wide as if mapping it out in his head. “I’d show you my own illustration but time is of the essence.”
“Why are they here?” Hannah asks, her voice a bit more calm with Touga’s presence. 
“They’re after me,” I swallowed, curling my fingers into a fist so tight I thought I’d puncture my skin with my finger nails. “The spider that bit me and gave me my powers came from dimension Earth-1997, home to Harry Osborne who orchestrated this attack.”
My friends eyes lit up with concern and worry, anxiously holding their breath as they waited for us to speak more. 
They’re here because of me. 
“I wanted to wait to tell you a theory of mine, but Spider-Doc’s research confirmed my suspicions,” Migue spoke up as his long fingers trailed down my arms to my fists, uncurling my fingers and intertwining our hands. “Better late than never. Harry was trying to recreate the venom that gave the Spider-Man of his dimension their powers. He made a modification that amplified the specific targets' natural talents and enhanced them. In Lisa’s case, it amplified her athleticism when it came to her dancing, and her voice.”
“Her voice?” Toya repeated with a confused glint in his eyes. 
“My webs glow when I sing, triggering various effects if I use them on someone,” I suddenly became nervous, rubbing the back of my neck with my free hand. It kind of sounds outrageous saying this all out loud here. “I can put my targets to sleep, issue commands, and I uh– triggered them to explode once?”
“Exploding webs?!” Toya exclaimed, eyes wide as Hannah jumped, Touga holding her protectively. 
“I didn’t kill anyone! I only used it against a giant rock monster!” I started, waving my hand reassuringly. 
“You fought rock monsters?” Touga gawked, his grip tightening on Hannah. 
Miguel coughs into the fist of his free hand, regaining everyone’s attention. “Can we stay focused, please? Trying to have an adult conversation, or at least something close to it.”
“Right, sorry, Spider-Man– Miguel, or  Mr. O’hara, er, sir!” Touga apologies before both he and his twin offer Miguel a salute, straightening their posture. 
Hannah glances between them, unsure whether to do the same. I cast her a reassuring glance, waving my hand down. “That’s not a thing in the Society, you don’t need to do that,”
“Please, just call me Miguel,” Miguel nods over to the boys, putting them at ease. “Mr. O’hara was my father. I am not him.” 
“. . . Doesn’t Pavitr call you Mr. O’hara?” I gently remind him, lowering my voice to a whisper. 
Miguel keeps his gaze on my friends, not breaking eye contact as he matches my tone. “I don’t have the heart to tell him otherwise. He’s a good kid, so he gets a pass.”
“So does Kasey’s disappearance have something to do with Harry going after you?” Hannah asks me. 
“Yes,” I sighed deeply, lowering my head. “They’ve. . . come after me before.”
“Wait, the attack at your apartment that one time was them?” Hannah’s voice dropped as she covered her mouth and I could see the exact moment when her heart dropped. 
I nodded. “Yes, and now they’re trying to get to me through those closest to me. That’s why they took Kasey and Chameleon disguised himself and took Kasey’s place so I wouldn’t notice.”
“But if you have spider-powers now, wouldn’t your spider-sense warn you if something was up?” Touga asked me, his voice a little hesitant. 
“Truthfully I’m still getting used to how it works exactly,” I shake my head with a grim expression. “I can sense danger right before it happens, but not in the long term it seems.”
But maybe if I could. . .  
I winced, hearing white noise in my ear. An image flashed in my head, but I couldn’t quite catch what it was as I vigorously shook my head. It had to be the stress of all that was happening, at least that’s what I told myself to keep calm. 
I didn’t miss the look Miguel gave me. Could he hear my thoughts through the mental bond he had connected with me? Before he had a chance to talk, Hannah’s voice spoke up and his eyes gazed upon her. 
“So. . . where is Kasey?” Hannah asked me nervously. 
My shoulders slacked as my head hung low. “I have no idea.”
Chameleon had mentioned that he disguised himself long enough for the plan to work. But how long was that even? The day before the show? A week ago? Or when we had that fight?
“Has anyone tried contacting her since you all got here?” Miguel’s eyes wandered between the group, looking at each of us. 
Everyone looked shocked, puzzled as to why they didn’t think to do that before. Myself included. We all whipped out our phones, trying to text, call, even facetime Kasey’s number. But it all went to voicemail. 
“She’s not answering.” Toya shook his head with a frustrated growl. 
“But it went straight to voicemail,” I quickly realized, whipping my gaze to Miguel. “Her phone is still on!”
Miguel nodded, the gears in his head turning as he was one step ahead of me. He pulled away from me, lifting a hand to his gizmo, typing in a command on the touch screen. “Lyla, can you track the signal to see where Kasey’s phone is?” A holographic map of my dimension’s New York appeared before us, my friends surprised gasps could be heard in the back. 
“Sure can!” Lyla beamed happily as her avatar took form on Miguel’s shoulder and the gasps returned, this time louder and more alarmed. “Oh, Lisa, these must be your friends!”
“Introductions later, Lyla, we really need your help.” I insisted. 
“Anyone got a phone charger she can borrow?” Lyla asked as she zipped over towards my friends, studying them. 
“Uh, h-here!” Touga turned back, walking over to the kitchen counter as he pulled a drawer back and pulled out a charger. 
“Thanks,” He handed the charge to me and I found a USB port on the side of my gizmo. 
After connecting the two devices, I dialed Kasey’s number again. My heart dropped deeper and deeper into the pit of my stomach the longer it rang. Loading icons appeared on Lyla’s eyes as she studied the holographic map carefully. Then suddenly she exclaimed before flying over to a part of the map and tapping it with her finger. 
The map zoomed in on the spot before the hologram reconstructed itself and took the shape of a very familiar small island, with a very familiar historical landmark. I cursed under my breath. My knees buckled as I took it all in. “She’s back there?”
The Statue of Liberty. 
“Specifically, here,” Lyla zoomed in on the hologram again, this time, directing it beneath the monument to a series of tunnels and passageways. “I tracked the signal underground.”
“She was beneath us this whole time?” Toya’s jaw dropped as he stepped closer to the holomap, studying the pathway. 
“Are you absolutely sure, Lyla?” Miguel asked the AI, hands on his hips. 
“That’s where the signal is coming from,” Lyla nodded before looking over at Miguel. “It’s not a bad place to keep a hostage.”
Miguel’s stance was collected, calm and his eyes narrowed seriously as he looked back towards me. “What do you want to do?”
My eyes trailed down to my phone, seeing the failed calls and texts to Kasey’s phone before looking back towards the holomap. I sucked in a deep breath through my nose and exhaled out of my mouth as I glared at the red dot indicating Kasey’s proximity location. “If there’s even the smallest chance, I have to go.”
“We will go,” Miguel corrected me, stepping to my side as he placed a steady hand to the small of my back. “I’ll call the others, and figure out a plan.”
Footsteps caught my attention as I looked up, seeing Hannah, Touga, and Toya approach the opposite end of the holomap, determined looks on their faces.
“How can we help?” Touga crossed his arms over his chest, offering me a smile. 
“What?” My eyes widened at his offer as I looked between them and Miguel just to check if they were joking. I narrowed my eyes cautiously. “I’m not asking you to put your lives–”
“Oh, we’re not asking, we’re telling,” Toya spoke up with a grin, cracking his knuckles. “We’re a team, remember? The Webslingers?”
I gawked at his words, feeling like I was going to cry right there and then. “Guys. . .”
“Kasey is our friend too, and we want to do everything we can to help.” Hannah stated, appearing a little more calm and confident in herself. 
I looked over towards Miguel. “Well?”
‘We could use the extra help?’ 
Miguel’s eyes narrowed before he sighed, shaking his head lightly as he glanced over to the floor. Hands still on his hips, he glances up to my friends. “It will be dangerous. If we go in there. . . there’s a chance we won't come back out.”
My body froze at that moment, my heart pounding so hard in my chest I thought it was going to burst as I watched my friends exchange looks with one another. The idea that more than Kasey’s life could be at risk, or worse. . . I didn’t want to think about it. The white noise and flickering came back briefly, and I shook my head again as my friends looked up towards Miguel. Determination still painted on their faces. 
“We understand the risks,” Touga spoke as Toya and Hannah nodded their heads. “We’re coming.”
“Then we got some work to do.” Miguel stated as he rose his gizmo to his face. “Spiders, rendezvous at my coordinates. All hands on deck.”
////////
Operation: Rescue Kasey and save Earth-1218 was a go. 
Avoiding the police and the checkpoints they set up on practically every block leading up to the harbour was a cakewalk, as we navigated across on the rooftops. After dropping down and getting by the patrols, we found the twin’s family yacht. Using cloaking technology on the S.S.Saki to avoid being seen by the Coast Guard, we sailed back to the island under the cover of darkness. 
There was an eerie silence as we sailed across the lake and into the port. To think only mere minutes ago, the place was covered with fire and explosions. I could still smell the ash and smoke from here. 
Not to mention that stupid portal was till glowing and hovering up in the sky like the biggest eyesore. As we navigated closer to the statue, I prayed to any God that would listen to me to not let another villain variant or anomaly pass through and cause more destruction to my home. As far as I could catch through the radio chatter on the police walkies as we snuck by, the villains never left the smaller island and attacked the mainland. 
It was the smallest of blessings, but I didn’t take it for granted. 
“Everyone in position?” Miguel spoke through the gizmo’s commlink. 
Miguel and I had snuck our way to the top of the Statue of liberty to catch a peek at the portal to check if any more villains would be coming through any time soon. Thankfully it didn’t appear so, but the place was crawling with Oscorp guards, the same ones that abducted me back when all of this first started. I had shuddered when I first caught a glimpse of their uniforms. 
“We’re ready to go in when you are, Miguel,” Noir responded. 
Noir would be leading Gwen, and my friends through a back door at the bottom of the statue that led into the underground maintenance facility where the network of tunnels started. Miguel and I would make our way down through the statue itself by the security entrance. Pav, Peter B., Jess, and Hobie were on standby for backup in case we needed it. 
“We go on my signal,” Miguel spoke before he glanced over at me, noticing how my eyes had yet to stray from looking at the portal. “I’ll call you back.”
He hung up the feed, approaching me softly as we stood within the crown of Lady Liberty. 
I had changed into my real, and very much cleaner and not tattered, spider-suit via my gizmo. The nano-technology fit me like a glove as I lowered my head down to look at my mask. My fingers curled tighter around it as a wave of shame and guilt coursed through my body. 
“Something has been eating at you,” Miguel spoke gently. “I can tell.”
“. . . This is all my fault, isn’t it?” My voice was barely a whisper. 
“Mona Lisa, none of this is your fault,” Miguel eagerly insisted, his voice still stern yet gentle as he squeezed my hand in his. 
“But what if it is?” I turned my head to look back at him with worry. “Even if my universe doesn’t actually have a canon like Lyla told you, I still can’t use my powers here. I tried to when I pushed Touga out of the way. I saved him, but I blacked out in that split second.”
Miguel’s eyes softened in sympathy, his fingers squeezing my hands tightly as his thumbs brushed against the fabric of my gloves. “Lisa. . .”
“I should have been more vocal with you with my worry about Harry coming here when you first told me the other week. I trusted you to handle it and I still do, but. . . without my powers, how can I rescue Kasey?” My voice trembled, my heart pounding so loudly in my ears. “How can I protect my home?”
I could see Miguel’s lips moving, but I couldn’t hear him. Everything seemed to blur as the white noise returned, erupting my ears. Spots flickered in my eyes as I began to see things, someone that wasn’t there. 
For a brief moment, someone else took Miguel’s place. First it was Hannah and my eyes widened in fear when it looked like she was beaten up, bloodied even. Then it was Toya, and Touga, then Kasey, and I recoiled, fearing the worst for her. 
“What if they get hurt because of me?” I choked. 
Miguel’s form flickered as he continued to try and talk to me, before I closed my eyes and when I opened them again I saw my mother. I nearly fell to my knees. As if he were shouting from a distance, I could hear Miguel’s muffled cry to me. 
“What if—!” The words were there but I couldn’t get them out as I shut my eyes again, shaking my head. 
But when I looked back, Miguel wasn’t there again. It was a woman, an elderly with snow white hair tied in a bun. She wore a visor with multiple red eyes staring at me, in a long red suit like gown as she sat on a black throne that was covered in webs. 
“What if you’re right? What if my universe won’t accept me as its Spider-Woman because of all of this?” I whimpered, my fingers clutching on to the sides of my head. 
The woman suddenly lunged for me, arms out. 
“Lisa, look at me!” 
But it wasn’t the woman’s voice that came out of her mouth as I shut my eyes feeling someone grabbing on to me, shaking me back into reality. I slowly opened my eyes to see Miguel kneeling before me, his hands on my shoulders as they trembled, as if fighting not to grab me too hard. His eyes poured into mine, his pupils flickering between his normal brown and his powerful red irises as if trying to keep himself calm through all of this. 
“Maybe. . . Maybe I’m wrong. I’ve seen what you can do with these powers and how you’ve used it to protect those around you, to protect me. But even if I am right, I will be there and help you every step of the way. I’ll work with Lyla and the Doc, research and study the spider-venom DNA for anything that can help you to use your powers here and reduce the pain that you’re feeling, because I’m so shocking proud of you, Lisa!”
Slowly the white noise whine down, and I started to hear music? Violins playing a soft, enchanting and also familiar melody. 
“Not done fightin' (no way), I don't fear I've lost
Am I dreamin', is there more like us?”
My lips trembled as I looked at him, eyes watering as something warm swelled in my chest. “Miguel. . .” The white noise and voices started to dissipate. 
“You’re amazing, you know that?” He panted, managing a smile as he laughed. 
I could see his fangs glisten in the moonlight, flashing that signature grin of his as his hands came up to cup my cheeks. He closed the distance between us, his lips crashing into mine in a confident, pulling my flush against him. I was worried that someone might see us, a patrolling guard or another anomaly sneaking through the portal, but when Miguel’s fingers dug into my hair at the back of my head, I melted into his touch completely. 
“Got me feeling (no way), like it's all too much
I feel beaten, but I can't give up”
His tongue slowly brushed against my bottom lip suddenly, testing the waters, silently asking for permission. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach as I wrapped my arms around his neck to hold myself closer, and I parted my lips. It was brief, only for a few seconds, but I felt his tongue slip into my mouth and massage itself against my own in slow, gentle strokes before Miguel pulled away completely. 
“Your best is enough.” he stated, his fingers brushing stray strands of my hair away from my face. “I’ll do everything in my power to help you save your dimension. You have my word, Lisa.”
There was a look in his eyes, as if he wanted to say more, but he held back, as I stared at him wide eyed. He reached down to the floor, gently plucking my mask that I had dropped during our kiss. Offering it to me with a soft smile, he spoke confidently, “Ready to get to work, Spider-Muse?”
“I'm still fighting, I don't fear I've lost
Am I dreamin', is there more like us?”
My gaze flickered between him and the mask as the surroundings around us became more clear to me. I couldn’t hear my heart pounding in my chest anymore as I reached for my mask, taking it from his large fingers. I didn’t hear the voices anymore as I tied my hair back before slipping the mask over my head and pulled my ponytail through the hair opening. 
“Got me feelin' (no way), like it's all too much
I feel beaten (no way), but I can't give up!”
The HUD of my mask came to life as vital signs and data measurements followed my UI menu and the eyelets of my mask glowed to life as I met Miguel’s stare. I reached my hand back out, grasping his and intertwined my fingers tightly with his. “Let’s go save the multiverse together.”

TikTok is FUMING over Jinx right now. A lot of people are dropping it and I don’t blame them, Jae is only gonna go downhill from here. I hope you don’t mind the really long ask cause I just have so many thoughts and no one to share with. I could write a thesis on Joo Jaekyung.
Honestly I had a whole interpretation of Jaekyung’s character and chapter 34 straight up changed that. He did two things I thought he would never do:
1) He aggressively put his hands on Heesung and directly threatened him with violence TWICE in the same chapter. I don’t think people realize how serious that is. He’s on equal footing with Heesung. They’re both celebrities. Both public figures. And for Jae, a fighter, an athlete, a scandal involving physical violence towards Heesung would literally RUIN his career. All this time I was thinking “Yeah, he’d never take his anger out on Heesung because they’re equals, Heesung’s got money and power. Dan is the weakest one in the situation so Jae will take it out on him” so look at me being a clown 🤡
2) He lied to Dan. For the first time in 34 chapters, he straight up manipulated him. Not tricked him. He directly intervened with his appointment with Heesung by lying, saying Heesung cancelled. It wasn’t even a GOOD lie!!! It was a half-assed, he didn’t even try to sound believable (because yes, Dan, you’re right, it makes NO sense for Heesung to contact Jae instead of you). But poor Dan believed him. My point is: I never took Jae for a liar, or even a manipulator. He was always either petty or very upfront about everything, so that shocked me. Which makes me believe now that Jae never lied to Dan until now because he never had to before. He always had full control of Dan as is, but the littlest threat to that hold on Dan made him do all that.
Ironic how half the fandom (me included) believed Heesung to be a conniving snake but turns out Jae’s the one who fits that description. In my mind, he was always a straight forward, violent douche. What you see is what you get kinda thing. And Heesung would be the “two-faced” douche to counter him. But Jae’s proven to be a lot more dangerous and sneaky ever since Heesung appeared. I guess this is the first chapter that legit has me thinking about how scary Jae is, not just because he’s violent, but because he’s shown he can be manipulative as well.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, i deeply appreciate it and honestly agree with so much about your essay.
I am a dark-content enjoyer. Nearly all my ships are fucked up, toxic or abusive. I went into Jinx knowing that it will have some skeevy stuff. However, i think this is actually the worst thing Jae has done so far. Yes, even worste than the sexual coercion. Because, as you said, until now he has been honest with Dan, and hasn't been withholding information (that we know of). He tells Dan when he wants to have sex, he tells him what he expects from him, he tells him how he feels about what they are doing. And Dan goes along with it, because as he thinks to himself, if he knows what is going to happen, if it is just this or that, then he can manage. But this "base of trust" has been completely ruined with chapter 34, when Jae does that stunt right in front of Heesung without Dan being aware.
I swear, my stomach dropped when i first saw that reveal, thinking for a hot second that he might let Heesung have his turn on Dan as well, without him even realizing.
That said, I never really got red flags from Heesung, and I honestly hope that he will reveal to Dan sooner rather than later what Jae has done. But for now, of course, we have to keep in mind that Jae has no problem getting phsyical, as well as the fact that he will lie, and manipulate and withhold knowledge without even batting an eye. So yeah, Jae is a manipulator, and a liar and just honest to God dangerous - curious to see how things will evolve from here.

Rocket for the ask game, please!
1. favorite thing about them
how he genuinely is quite sensitive to the needs of his friends - he’s hell when dealing with strangers, and maybe isn’t the best at reading the room, but he DOES care. he’ll be kicking and screaming about it and denying it but if something is not right he’s not one to sit by and ignore the problem
2. least favorite thing about them
it probably ties into the first thing in that just cause he recognises a problem it doesn’t mean he knows the right way to go about fixing it. try telling him that though. i’ve noticed a lot over the years (and obviously different writers too so this is all subjective) that rocket’s version of arguing back tends to hinge on being louder than the other person and getting the last word. he needs to learn to shut the fuck up sometimes (affectionate). (wouldn’t be him if he wasn’t like this though! it shouldn’t change!)
that being said, kind of a tangent, I dislike it when some writers choose rocket arguing back as just him being an asshole. i haven’t played the telltale game in a long time, but i seem to remember their rocket falling into this trap. sometimes he would be contrary just cause…. the writers called for it i guess? so he came across as a dick for no reason. eidos rocket meanwhile was kind of a dick but always a dick who was trying to make a point and had legitimate quibbles. for his two page appearance in star-lord grounded rocket also blew up at peter - but had objectively good reasons to! and was willing to listen when pete met him on his level.
so long story short - he’ll snark back, might blow his top a bit but in his mind he always has his reasons and when you look at them they’re mostly legit from his perspective.
a lot of writers unfortunately just make him angry for no reason and it’s really, really, REALLY annoying /rantover
3. favorite line
rocket probably makes me laugh the most out of any character he has so many ridiculous lines there’s too many to count. “that’s how we do things in the raccooniverse”lmfao. that being said I’ve always liked the dialogue between him and Pete at the end of vol. 2. Rocket’s hardly an optimist but it kind of ties into my answer for 1. He knows Peter is beating himself up and when Peter tentatively reaches out, Rocket knows what he needs to hear. Hell, Rocket himself probably also needs to tell himself but they did good!
Peter: This guarding the galaxy thing sure comes at a price.
Rocket: You knew that when you put this team together, Pete.
Peter: Yeah… but Adam? Phyla? The cosmos will be a poorer place without them.
Rocket: What about Mantis? The Major? Gamora? God help me, even that damn dog. We thought they were dead. Life and death. The trick is to keep the books balanced.
4. brOTP
groot obviously. Pete.
5. OTP
none
6. nOTP
none
7. random headcanon
he and gamora are actually closer than you’d suspect - he quite often will help her deal with her implants if they’re becoming painful, or even take out ones she doesn’t need anymore. raccoons having weirdly small human hands comes in handy (ha!) for that. she’s surprised at first - he’s more capable of serious conversation than she initially thought - they have way more in common than both of them originally thought. he knows all too well how painful it is when your implants start bugging out, but he didn’t expect one of the most famous assassins in the universe, who should by all means have the best, to be almost as cobbled together as him.
it’s sad, though neither would admit that, but it makes the two of them feel less alone.
8. unpopular opinion
i feel like a lot of this is just wider MCU fandomy stuff that i’m not part of but, like i said, generally rocket ISN’T just an asshole for no reason.
9. song I associate with him
Mr Roboto by Styx
10. favorite picture of them
I wish i had a screencap of that selfie that he took of him and the team that’s in pete’s room in the eidos gotg game because it’s too cute. that one.

Diabolik Lovers: Haunted Dark Bridal Part 1 - Sakamaki Ayato Route
Tumblr media
Just to start off, I watched a bit of the Diabolik Lovers anime and kinda liked it but also felt it was a bit weird, so I thought I would try out the game instead! I really love the art, so I just had to try the story again, especially since all the guys are hot haha. Btw, since the game is in Japanese, I have been reading it with a translation on the side haha. I try to read it with my own skills but some things are just too hard haha. Anyway, man, this feels like a horror game for the poor girl lmao. Not only does Yui get abandoned by her father for "her sake" but she's told to go to a haunted house to see some relatives that will take care of her?? I wonder if the dad is on this, like why couldn't he take her along and why is she being sent to these suspicious vampire men? OMG, I was like is Ayato's VA who I think it is, and of course it is Midorikawa Hikaru!! I love him already. Lmao I was wondering what "chichinashi" was when Ayato referred to her as that but it actually means titless🤣 He's such an ass to keep repeating that she has no breasts lol. Laito just licked Yui?? Omggg lol. Anyway, I forgot about Laito always referring to her as bitch-chan, so now I'm annoyed with him but also dead at how silly it sounds😂 Omg Kanato's appearance is legit terrifying. His eyes look so soulless, I am scared.
Tumblr media
AHHH, I heard about the binaural audio or dummy head microphone thing about this game so I've been trying it out with earphones and I felt so violated with the licking noises LOL. Kanato is so creepy, he makes me so scared lmao😂 The way he talked to his teddy bear? Legit horrifying🥲 Ummm, did Reiji just say it's okay to cook Yui? Plz. I mean, Reiji is hot and if he says he'll whip Yui for not explaining why she's here... I'm in for it😂 I'm sorry, I'm trash too😂 Anyway, Yui has some spunk even though she's even more terrified after discovering that they're vampires. I felt so bad for her when she tried to run away but got caught and then had her mobile phone broken by Subaru. I think the saddest thing is that her dad really meant to leave her here (according to Shuu). So...we have to pick who she'll give her blood to and that's the route we'll end up on? Well, Ayato it is! I am terrified of Kanato saying he'll cut Yui up if we don't pick him, and I don't know what we'll regret about not choosing Laito but from my perspective, Ayato seems the most normal. I hope he is anyway... Well, glad to see Shuu tell them that they're not allowed to kill Yui because of whoever in the church that is related to this?🥲 Lol at Ayato teasing Yui for being scared of the lights going out and thinking a ghost would come out. He refers to himself as Ayato-sama to her hahaha, I guess he does just view her as food.. On one hand, I feel very sorry for Yui because Ayato biting her must hurt, but on the other hand, I cannot resist Midorikawa Hikaru's voice so yes pls. Ooh I didn't realise that they're not proper routes but more like short events or scenarios? Interesting. I legit can't. The binaural audio with earphones really feels like Ayato is speaking straight into my head LOL, it's so good and so disturbing at the same time hahaha. Lmao when Yui was worried about Ayato getting poisoned as well when she thought a poisonous bat scratched her and Ayato sucked her blood. On the other hand, the sucking noises with binaural audio is a whole new experience, I recommend everyone to listen to it at least once in their lives🤣
Tumblr media
Well, I thought Ayato was just going to play a nice prank where he scares Yui with a wax doll but omg when he tried to drip wax on her body so she can become a wax doll too, like dude hold up please. LMAO when Ayato stole Yui's notebook to try and force her to go home so he can drink her blood, and she distracts him by saying there's a big breasts beauty in the hallway, and he even believes it enough that Yui gets her notebook back🤣🤣🤣 At least he's got the decency to take her back after sucking so much blood from her, but I'm seriously lowering my standards for Ayato aren't I?🤣 Ayato licking the wound on Yui's knee so that none of her blood gets wasted was nicee, lmao when he tried to move her skirt out of the way and lick her thighs because he was "bored" of her knee🤣 Omg, what did he use on Yui to make her burn up and feel light headed! Anyway, I guess I should be throwing all my morals out for this game because dang, when he kissed her cheeks and asked if it felt good, I swooned🤣 OMG BINAURAL AUDIO IS SO DANGEROUS. Ayato whispering in my ear saying he can't hold back is not what I was expecting, omg, my heart. Nice to know how interested he is in Yui now though haha. The kisses omgggg!! I mean yeah, this game is very iffy when it comes to consent and toxic men but I find it very refreshing hahaha. I mean, I can't resist Ayato saying he'll take all of Yui's first times and I love how unrelenting he was when it came to teasing her with kisses lol. Well, I was going to say Ayato's mother (Cordelia) looks hot, which she does but dang does she seem kinda crazy. But then again, who isn’t crazy in this game?
Tumblr media
Lmao when Yui said should she act like she dislikes him drinking her blood if that's what makes him happy🤣 Yui really is too sweet and naive lol. The moment Ayato took the dog collar off the dog, I knew he was going to put it on Yui and tell her to be his dog lmao. I lovee the kitchen scene!! It was so cute how he kept kissing her and kept wanting her attention when she was cooking lmao. One of the rare times he's actually cute and honest, and omgg Ayato's favourite food is takoyaki! I approve. Loll when he bit another girl just because he wanted to see Yui's reaction. Honestly, even though we know this relationship is toxic, I admit that the thought of Ayato going to another girl for blood made me sad too. OMG IT'S THE THING OF NIGHTMARES! Legit wanted to freak out with that sideways pose Kanato makes, it's so creepy omg. Okay, it's nuts but I love it. Binaural audio of Midorikawa Hikaru saying "you belong to me/you're mine" is just the besttt👌👌👌 My heart omg. Ohhh dangg, they actually did it omggg?! Lmao when he was holding himself back from drinking her blood because she's weak right now so he poured honey on her instead and started licking her lmao. Ayato was so mean when he handcuffed her and left her in a dark underground sewer all by herself for a while! She would be relieved and happy to see anyone after that! WOW, what a jerk LMAO, I legit laughed (I’m sorry) when Ayato pushed Yui into the lake because she was focused on looking for shooting stars and wasn't giving him enough attention, what a guy man. Honestly, it's pretty hilarious how jealous Ayato can get, I do feel bad for Yui but it is cute in its own way. Does Yui have Cordelia's heart or something? Is that why Ayato thinks their blood tastes the same? Just when you think Ayato is nice, he gets a bit more nuts and starts using a knife to slowly cut her for blood because biting her apparently isn't as exciting anymore lolll.
Tumblr media
Well, the first ending is rather tame. How interesting that Richter was the one who put Cordelia's heart into Yui. Whether he did that because he wanted Cordelia to live on somehow or because he wanted to spite Ayato's father, the vampire king or whatever, who knows I guess. Does Richter have a route though? I like him, well his face😅 Dang, that after story with Yui wanting Ayato to bite her everywhere and even wanting him to bite her ring finger so that his mark will always be there. Lmao that they were doing that in the lounge ignoring everyone around them haha! Lolll when she asked Laito for recommendations for presents to give to a guy and he's like their girlfriend's underwear, this wild man🤣 On the other hand, it's nice to see how concerned and worried Ayato is running around looking for Yui. Honestly, I'm sure Yui could just say she went shopping and he wouldn't even realise it's for his birthday lol, but I guess drama is drama. I can't even blame Ayato for getting annoyed considering his personality alongside Laito just constantly causing trouble lol. I wanted to tear up when Yui bit her own finger not wanting the mark of her being his to fade. OMG, Ayato actually apologised to Yui and kissed her finger for misunderstanding her when she was just trying her best to give him a surprise birthday present. That's so cute, really didn't expect the apology haha! It is illegal for Ayato to blush!! He's so cute when he blushes!! So adorable to see how he happy he was to receive the Ruby earring from Yui. Oh, and a man that's willing to eat a smashed up cake that fell on the floor for you is a 10/10! He may be toxic but he's such a sweet guy when it counts! Well transferring cake mouth-to-mouth certainly sounds hot! I approve. The cake probably won't really taste that good though haha. Okay, the sadistic ending was very not nice lol! He killed all the vampires and Yui has basically become his doll, yeah... I guess the other one isn't any better hahah. It broke my heart to see the guys try and take advantage of Yui and suck her blood when Ayato was gone, I felt so bad for her. I felt so relieved for her when Ayato came back, and I honestly loved how angry he was at the guys and how protective he was over her. Considering how he can be, him disinfecting her body with his kisses and then hugging her when she was scared was sweet.
Tumblr media
Overall, Ayato was better than I thought he would be! Yeah, he was crazy possessive at times (most of the time) and he doesn't listen to Yui when she says she's anemic and needs rest, but he's also very gentle when he wants to be. I loved it when he hugged her to reassure her that he's the one with her in the heaven scenario and when he apologised to her after misunderstanding her on his birthday?? Such improvement, I wanted to cry. But yeah, then there's times he'll push her into the lake because she's not giving him the attention he wants lmao. It's such a rollercoaster, I love it. It's even better that he's voiced by Midorikawa Hikaru because that instantly makes Ayato 1000x better hahaha, I just love how sensually he talks into your ear with the binaural audio haha! Anyway, Ayato was cuter than expected, and I guess you'll like him if you like men who are possessive and a bit childish in that aspect of you needing to give him all your attention all the time lol. I’m definitely all in on this ride of Diabolik Lovers. It’s so rare to find men so unapologetically toxic LOL. Every now and then I just need this toxicity injected into my veins HAHA.

Skimbleshanks is a former merchant, turned pirate after getting screwed by the navy/a governor/the generic powers that be. He specialises in navigation, and has a knack for predicting merchant ship routes. He has a stable long term thing with Asparagus, who is Bombalurina’s favoured smith. Skimble is the least stereotypical pirate, he’s the dad of the crew. He’s very loyal to them and Bomba completely trusts him. When docked in Nassau, Skimble spends all his time with Asparagus and is rarely seen outside his company. If he is, he’s usually pissed about it, and Bomba won’t call for him unless it’s urgent. Asparagus is more of a homebody. He’s generally happy to have pirates running about his place, they kind of come as part of a package deal with Skimbledad. He sells both to pirates and legit Businesscats, he’s not that bothered. Bomba buys almost exclusively from him.
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer just kinda show up one day and Bomba takes a liking to them and hires them. They don’t talk about their past (something Macavity related mayhaps) and everyone knows better than to ask. No one knows if they’re related or just besties. Coricopat was the one who found them wandering lost on one of New Providence’s more secluded beaches, presumably having washed up from somewhere. Jerrie is immediately enraptured by Cori and confused and enthralled by his abilities. Teazer thinks he’s cool, but doesn’t quite see Jerrie’s fascination. She likes Cori though, he’s cool and she respects him since he saved them. She often teases Jerrie about being in love with him, but she’s secretly very chuffed about it. Cori is the only one who knows where they came from and why, due to a combination of being psychic and Jerrie’s (rare) unconditional trust. They’re good with the canons and weaponry, and have a very useful knack of not dying despite the situations they get themselves into. They work as gunners on the ship.
Cori is a soothsayer and a witch, and has a reputation for being almost impossible to find (unless you are Mungojerrie, who always seems able to). That said, he always seems to appear when someone wants to trade. It’s just on his terms I guess. He lives on New Providence, but no one is entirely sure where. He operates out of some known locations though, where he provides supernatural assistance, psychic readings and suggestions, potions and magical items etc. No one is entirely sure about the range of his powers, but he always seems able to help. He makes predictions from time to time, and bad things tend to happen when people ignore what he says. So when he says Bomba should take Demeter into her crew, it is a given that this will happen. He rarely, if ever, gives reasons or explanations. He’s pretty friendly though, particularly with Misto, and will often appear with free advice for him and the others. His system of payment is unpredictable, he rarely takes money, but will request seemingly odd things from his seekers. Bomba once traded six pieces of green sea glass from a specific beach on Jamaica for a jar of impermeable gunpowder. Jellylorum also traded a supposedly cursed locket for a reading. There are rumours he has a sister, but no one knows who or where she might be.
SURPRISE Cori and Tantomile are mermaids. Mermaids all have a bit of witchcraft, but Cori and Tanto are particularly powerful. They can transform at will. Cori was fascinated by life on land as a wean, and chooses to live there most of the time as an adult, but he’ll still return to the sea from time to time. No one on land knows he is a mermaid. He is more skilled in divination, whereas Tanto specialises in storms. She is typically unconcerned by what goes on above the surface, but has been known to sink ships when offended. Cori is the only one she will typically listen to. She doesn’t get why he likes living on land so much, but Prov is pretty safe for pirates as navy ships always seem to face impossible conditions trying to get near there. Coincidence? I think NOT.

I am so confused by people who seem upset at the Netflix Avatar the Last Air Bender show coming out. I’ve seen comments saying the characters were white washed 😳. I’m sorry…did yall not watch the movie?
THIS is who played Katara in the movie.
Tumblr media
And THIS is who played Sokka
Tumblr media
And then we have the kid that played Aang, also a white boy. But honestly, M Night’s casting seems to be more from the Brandy Cinderella page where race didn’t really matter…in a sense. Cause think about it, Dev Patel played Zuko and he’s Indian. The man who played Uncle Iroh is from Iran. Commander Zhao, also Indian. Fire lord is from New Zealand. Monk Gyatso was a black man. Sooo it seems like he was trying not to focus on race or nationality at all, but at the same time it’s very clear that this story and original show takes inspiration from a very specific culture and that culture should be recognized. I wouldn’t want rainbow casting for a story that specifically took place in an African environment and elements from that culture.
So as far as I’m concerned, the Netflix version did sooo much better with casting. But people are nitpicking, and yes I guess I can agree that the characters do appear more brown in the animated show. Especially Sokka and Katara. So yeah Netflix could have casted people who have a bit more of a tan. But come on y’all, this is NOT on the level of white washing that we’ve seen in other projects. Not to the point of boycotting or canceling the show 🙄 😑.
Plus, this cast legit looks like the live action versions of these characters. I mean Sokka literally looks like Sokka. It’s weird actually lol. His jaw line and how his features sit, literally looks like the cartoon character (some of yall mad at this because yall don’t think he’s “attractive” enough. Go watch the movie if you wanna see a cute white man play Sokka and get your rocks off that way. The focus here is storytelling) Even the chick playing Katara looks like her animated counterpart. I mean really everyone is spot on when it comes to their facial features and I think that was what Netflix was focused on more so than skin tone. Which I’m actually not too mad at.
I mean colorism is still a thing, of course. I’m black. I get it. But let’s not disown the show quite yet when they’re doing everything in their power to be as authentic as possible and respect the nationality or nationalities that inspire the story.
That’s a lot more than Mr. Shamalama did.
(Respectfully. Im being silly. No intention to maliciously disrespect his last name. He’s a good director and the movie had a FEW decent moments but all in all it was a BIG miss/mess.)

i know in the uk mps have to give a response if you are in their constituency so ill get something at some point but i have written to a different mp in the past about the gender recognition act and got the most bullshit response you've ever seen but your family shop got torn down!! what the actual fuck thats awful like i know its superficial but i wish i could give you a hug or something genuinely (and please tell me if im overstepping but i genuinely feel awful that you and so many others have to go through that) - 🐸
Ughhh that’s awful I’m so sorry. That’s what I expect my representative is going to do as well. They’re usually saying a bunch words that mean very little and trying to be evasive. But I guess my thinking is that since the 2024 elections are coming very soon, they might be worried enough about their votes to wanna at least APPEAR to give a shit? Or try to give a shit? I don’t know. It’s just s weird and scary time as well because this is all causing a rise in Islamophobia. I feel a bit insane that this is all happening and nobody is doing anything about it. Feels a little like maybe we’re watching a different tv channel than those who are in power haha.
Not overstepping at all! To the contrary, at least you’re making me feel like you’re seeing the same shit I’m seeing. Like I am legit still in a fight with my department at uni. That same committee I mentioned last week? I drafted a thing that mentioned the word “misinformation” (cuz you know the whole 40 beheaded babies that’s not true. And the video Israel posted that had the wrong time stamp etc) and they made me remove it. Still won’t publish a final draft of the statement. It’s been two and a half weeks!!!!! Like they are doing everything they can not to condemn genocide. And WE ARE THE LEFTISTS AND PROGRESSIVES MIND YOU! So, yeah, someone not beating around the bush and just straight up saying “I see what is happening and it’s awful” means a lot. You wouldn’t think that the bar is so low but here we are hahaha

@storm-ismyusername
Thank you so much for tagging me! I feel honored. So Juicy!!! The idea that Vox loves his kids so much that he sold his soul is heartbreakingly beautiful. I’m absolutely in love with Vox’s complicated relationship with Sarah & Thomas. Vox will stuff them into a fish tank for disobeying him or leave them on the street because his ego couldn’t handle their reaction to his appearance, but he will SELL HIS SOUL to keep them safe. SO. MANY. LAYERS!!! (He’s like an onion!)
Vox doesn’t feel particularly selfless for making the choice he did. Of course he couldn’t leave his own children to die by an exorcist’s blade. He’s only been dead for a couple years at this point and has spent most of that time locked up in a gilded cage, so his baseline human morality is still mostly intact. If there was a better option, he would’ve taken it, but he only had a matter of days to find a way to save them from permadeath, and, as painful as it was, this was the only option he had.
From a more Doyalist perspective, it’s just fun to explore different possibilities. What if Vox did make the “right” choice in this scenario? What would the circumstances need to be in order for him to make that choice?
Wonder how Alastor deals with this? Maybe he gives the kids to Rosie (at least until Vox has accumulated enough power and modified his body, though I guess this could be a 4th branch: After Alastor kills Vox’s Overlord and they become friends Vox asks if Al knows anyone who could look after his kids. Alastor suggests Rosie and soon the kids find themselves in Cannibal Town, with the occasional letter from their father and a visit from Alastor who claims to be their Dad’s friend.)
Things are awkward and humiliating and sad once the kids figure out who Vox is, but once they’re over that hump, things mellow out. Vox is with his boss most of the time, but when he’s not, the kids (mostly Sarah) try to spend time with him. He’s sort of reluctant to see them most of the time since he’s so ashamed of what he’s been reduced to, but they live in the same building, so it’s hard to be avoidant without being outright rude. Sarah’s not judging him. She’s not judging him at all, but he can’t fully believe that. Thomas is trying to figure out if he pities his dad for the sorry state he’s in or if he agrees with Vox's boss that he kinda deserves it, so he mostly avoids him as well.
When Alastor abducts him, after he assures Vox that he has no intention of harming him, Vox requests that they go back for the kids. A power struggle is going to break out once Alastor starts broadcasting his boss’ screams, and who knows what will happen to them if they get caught in the crossfire. Alastor obliges but says he’d rather not have two children trailing after him. They come to the decision that Rosie is the best possible option and take them to live with her.
The kids aren’t sure how to feel about their dad handing them off to someone else; they can’t tell if this is a legit necessity or if Vox just doesn’t want them around. He communicates with them mostly through letters unless Alastor insists that he accompany him on his visits to Rosie. There’s a bit of a feeling of abandonment, but they both know how much he hates them seeing him in his Hell form, and knowing the reason makes it a bit easier to understand. Still doesn’t feel great though.
He starts willingly visiting them in person once he starts getting real deep into the augmentations. Sarah’s just glad to see him (and see him happy), Tom’s got complicated feelings, as usual. When he achieves overlord status + his ideal body, he takes them back and starts trying to make up for lost time, doing everything he can to impress them and reestablish himself as The Masculine, Respectable Father. No fish tank, just a lot of overcompensating that never feels like enough.
(Just had a thought: When Alastor kills an Overlord do all the souls they owned transfer over to him? If yes, does that mean Alastor would own Vox’s soul? How would the dynamics change? I’m guessing the Mindbreak never happens in this timeline since Alastor would be in full control of Vox (who definitely doesn’t become an Overlord). Does that mean in the future he becomes part of the Hotel staff? How would Vox react to Mindbreak Niffty? Does Niffty even become Mindbroken? Would Velvette and Valentino still become Overlords? [Wait did I just combine 60s Swap & Proto Vox-?]
I think when an overlord is killed, their murderer has the choice to steal their contracts or just let them be nullified. Alastor seems like the type to alternate. Sometimes, he lets everyone go free, sometimes he adds them to his collection. Whatever will be more entertaining/beneficial to him. If Alastor takes possession of Vox’s soul, then yeah, I don’t think they’d be able to break apart since Al can just force Vox to stop doing anything he doesn’t approve of. It sort of ends up as what most people theorize Alastor and Niffty’s relationship in canon is: Al owns Vox, but Vox isn’t all that upset about it. Maybe a bit resentful that he’s been stuck in the same role for 70 years, but overall, he and Alastor still get on fine. Al might get curious about his mind-destroying powers, but he doesn’t target Niffty. Val definitely still becomes an overlord, although Al could eventually take possession of him à la the 60s swap AU. Vel could make it on her own, or she could get snatched up by Niffty or whoever.
Tbh, this is now basically just a regular role swap, minus the RAM stuff.
[Wait new idea: 60s Swap + Proto Vox.  Wonder how different Valentino and Velvette’s relationship with Vox would be?]
Not significantly different. It takes a while for them to get past Vox’s appearance, but eventually, they start recognizing the parts of him that they respect and like. Val and Vox might even end up dating in the non-RAM path. Val loves his evil little toon, and Vox does his best to talk Alastor out of hurting Val too badly when he steps out of line.
Had some ideas about Proto Vox and Niffty while driving
Vox and Niffty meet when Vox's boss hires her to make his clothes/costumes. She's not under contract with his overlord (not under contract with anyone, in fact); she's just freelancing, so she only comes by the compound once every few weeks.
The two of them form a tentative bond over the hardships they face due to their demonic forms and their shared ambitions to eventually rise above their stations.
Vox is hamstrung by being locked into a deal with his boss and only ever being allowed to leave the base in her company. Niffty is just a regular sinner with no real power, but she uses her seamstress job and unassuming appearance to network and collect/trade information.
Vox is privy to tons of information about his overlord's business dealings and private affairs since he's almost always with her. Up until this point, he hadn't been able to make use of that information due to his limited mobility, but now he has Niffty. He shares confidential information with her, and she carries it back outside. She then trades it to others in exchange for favors/assets/information, which she shares with Vox whenever she sees him next.
They're able to keep this arrangement up for a few years. Niffty's starting to accumulate some power, but Vox is still stuck under his boss' thumb. One day, something bad goes down between Vox and his boss, and he confides in Niffty that he needs to get out of this fucking place; he feels like he's gonna snap if he doesn't. Sympathizing with her friend, Niffty decides to take a risk. She spreads a rumor that Vox's boss has done/is planning on doing something to slight the Radio Demon.
Just as she'd hoped, Alastor shows up at Vox's overlord's compound and kills her, broadcasting her scream to the city. Niffty is excited, not only because there's now a power vacuum that she can take advantage of but also because Vox is free. However, he's nowhere to be found. Niffty assumes he split to go strike out on his own and tries not to resent him for not getting in contact with her (and hopes that she didn't accidentally get him killed by sending the Radio Demon after the woman whose company he was always in).
Years pass, and Niffty builds up her business, eventually achieving overlord status. At an event, she happens to cross paths with Alastor... and Vox! She's thrilled to see him again (and that he's not dead). It turns out that Alastor took an interest in him when he went to kill his boss, and Vox has been with him ever since. Things were a bit rocky at first, but after a while, the two of them became friends– actual friends, not a master and servant like Vox and his old boss had been. With Alastor's guidance, Vox has been building up power of his own since he last saw Niffty. He's recently discovered that he can modify his body and has just gotten his first augmentation: a pair of neon blue claws (which look suspiciously similar to Alastor's, but Niffty doesn't mention that). The two of them agree to stay in touch and possibly do business together now that they've both got more than just information to offer each other.
Vox and Niffty remain friends, occasionally meeting up for business-related things or just to chat. Vox slowly upgrades more and more parts of his body. Niffty's happy for him that he's finally able to gain some control over the form he hated. She jokes with him that she's jealous; he gets to change his body however he wants, but she's stuck looking this way forever. Do ladybugs go through metamorphosis? However, things are starting to get tense between Vox and Alastor. She can't tell if it's because of the upgrades, Vox's increasing confidence and success, or something else.
Eventually, Vox and Alastor fall out. Niffty is just as shocked as the rest of the city when Vox emerges from their fight not only alive, but having forced Alastor to retreat. Yes, it was a stalemate and Vox came out of it the worse for wear, but it was still something no one else had been able to do before. While she knows the split from Alastor hurt him deeply, Niffty is happy for Vox that he's suddenly in the spotlight, ready to claim the power he always craved in a body that feels right to him.
Alastor has a dilemma now: he wants to make Vox pay for ruining things between them and daring to try to compete with him, but he doesn't want to kill Vox. He's also curious about a certain ability of his that he's aware of but has yet to fully explore. The solution to both problems presents itself in the form of Niffty. While she and Vox truly aren't that close, she's an easy target, and Alastor's been feeling spiteful these past few months.
Vox is shaken by Niffty's "death," but it does nothing to dissuade him from the path he's on– quite the opposite. However, he's horrified when he learns about Alastor's new maid. Seeing Niffty, a clever and driven woman who he'd once commiserated with over their pathetic demonic forms, reduced to a hyper, childish freak is like something out of a nightmare. Vox could hear the message Alastor was trying to send loud and clear: "I can do this to her, and can do it to you too." The thought of losing everything and truly becoming what everyone had once assumed him to be is terrifying, but Vox's pride and hatred of Alastor will not allow him to back down. He takes measures to protect himself from his former friend and continues working to build his soon-to-be empire.
When Vox and Niffty reunite at the hotel, neither them is in the right headspace to process what's wrong. However, there's a little twinge of... something deep within them. Something like sorrow.

Dexholders Clothes Stealing Headcanons
Kanto: 
Green just doesn't own clothes anymore. Blue, Yellow and Red just steal all of them. Yellow actually brings them back, because she's nice unlike the other 2 heathens. His purple shirt? Nope that's Red's now. His black aviator jacket? Yellow was cold so she borrowed it for the winter. His lab coat? Blue need it for a scam and she ain't bringing it back. Sweatpants, black t-shirt? His purple cargo pants? Gone! Because he's the tallest and his clothes are just too damn comfy.
Johto:
All three of them just share clothes at this point. Gold will search for his favourite hoodie only to remember Crystal took it. Silver would meet with Blue and she would compliment his white jacket, except it's not his, it's Crystal's. Crystal would just do laundry and find like, Gold's shorts and Silver's jacket. They also have a schedule for who gets Gold's hoodie because the damn thing is just so soft.
Hoenn:
I don't think they share any clothes. They have widely different styles that wouldn't work on the others. Maybe Emerald would occasionally steal like, Ruby's ribbons that he uses in contests to tie his hair or something. But mostly no clothes thieves here.
Sinnoh:
Platina steals all of the sweaters and jackets, definitely. She would go meet with Cynthia or Prof. Rowan and she's wearing Dia's jacket. One time she went to one of Dia and Pearl's gigs, and after the show when she went to see them backstage, she's wearing Pearl's sweater and Pearl goes ”Wait that's mine!” They don't mind of course. Also Dia steals all of her fancy hats so they're even.
Unova:
White steals everyone's clothes, but she does it without even realizing which is way funnier. She just goes to visit Whi-two and N and when she's back home she realizes she's wearing Whi-two's shoes and N's hat. And she's like. How did that happen? She's meeting with Elesa in Virbank and she's wearing like, Black's jacket and pants, looking like she's in cosplay, and Elesa would point it out and White looks at herself and goes ”Huh. I guess I am wearing Black's clothes again...” Lack-two would just randomly text her ”I am putting you under arrest.” And White would freak out and ask why, what did she do? And Lack-two just texts her ”I couldn't find my favourite shorts again and you appeared in an interview wearing them yesterday.” Poor girl has no idea how this keeps happening.
Kalos:
X steals everything. Like legit no clothes are safe from this man. If someone were to look through his wardrobe they'd find like Y's sweaters, Tierno's t-shirts, Shauna's shirts and Trevor's pants. He has like, multiple clothes he stole from his friends. And he's not even trying to hide it. Y would somehow convince him to leave the house and he shows up in Tierno's black Vanillite t-shirt, one of Shauna's jackets, Trevor's sweatpants, Y's fluffy socks and Green's boots that he somehow got a hold of.
Alola:
They trade hats and shirts. Nothing else just hats and shirts. And it's a mutual agreement too. Moon goes to Sun like ”I'll trade you my red hat for your blue tank top.” and Sun goes ”I'll throw in my blue and white t-shirt too if you give me your yellow floral shirt.” ”Deal.” People point it out all the time but they just say ”I got it in a fair trade, therefore it is mine now.”
Galar:
Their system is like a combination between the Alola duo and the Johtrio. Because they share clothes, but sometimes Sou would refuse to give Schilly her sweater back so she has to bargain. ”I'll give you one of my sweatshirts if you give me my sweater back.” ”Not soft enough.” ”How about my fuzzy parka? That's soft.” ”Yeah but its too hot for that.” Schilly has to bet like half her wardrobe to get that 1 sweater back. Marvin also steals their socks.

Here are some jewish myths you might still believe!!!!
(Pls read and reblog I’m tired of people echoing shit like this)
Jesus was not a rabbi. He lived a hundred years before rabbinic judaism even started to develop. Please stop saying this as if it lends him credence in our religion, because no. It doesn’t.
Yeah, Jesus was jewish, but he also rejected mainstream Judaism and hated it. Stop pretending he means anything to us. Idk if you guys have even read your own books, Matthew is like 60% about how the Pharisees are bad and wrong and evil for sticking to the traditions that have kept them alive for 100s of years. It’s also, y’know, historically inaccurate to the actual behavior of the Pharisees in that time period. Seriously man he is not ours and means nothing to us, keep your Jesus and stop trying to shoehorn him into judaism.
Our god is not yours “minus the Jesus.” In trinity terms; divide the Holy Spirit by the Father and then subtract the Son and that is a bare bones grasp of what god appears as for Jews.
Jews are not white as a whole. Are there white Jews? Yes. Are there jews who are literally every other skin tone? Also yes!! We are all over the place. India, numerous Middle Eastern countries, Morocco, Spain, and a lot more I can’t be bothered to list. You are actively hurting poc jews by pretending that all jews are European, holy shit stop doing that please!!! Most white jewish people are Ashkenazi, which is just one type of judaism.
Actually, the historical relationship between Jews and Muslims is a lot more complicated then you think it is. Sometimes we got along, sometimes we didn’t. Some would argue that Jews were treated better by Islamic caliphates in the Middle Ages then they were by Christian kingdoms. Stop trying to pretend we are and have always been “arch nemeses” or some fucking bullshit (that would be the Amalekites for us, actually, and not the Muslims) Also we’re honestly more similar to them when it comes to traditions then christians so like take that into account thanks
Hey guys listen to Romani when they talk about the Holocaust too!!!!! Please, they have a different experience/perspective and deserve to have their voices heard. Don’t pretend they don’t exist and that it didn’t effect them because uh.... it did. To a degree that I don’t think I can properly explain. Do not overlook them and then pretend it’s just because ur a “jewish ally” or whatever the fuck.
Stop pretending that we’re the same as Christianity. We aren’t. Stop stop stop holy shit stop. That’s not how any of this works at all. Christianity is so so so different, it takes like a handful of jewish beliefs and runs with them. Christianity is its own thing and so is Judaism, stoppp.
Not all Jews are zionists. some are explicitly anti-zionists. Not all zionists are anti-Semitic, but some of them are. Basically, jews aren’t inherently zionists and anti-Zionism isn’t inherently antisemitic. That being said, some people do use anti-Zionism as a cover for their anti-semitism. Watch out for those people, they’re not that hard to spot. That’s all I’m going to say about that, don’t want to start on this issue because it isn’t what this list is about.
Jews never actually lived by the literal laws of the Torah. We did not stone people. There is no archeological evidence of that and actually more evidence pointing to the opposite. jewish communities actually held capital punishment as being inherently immoral and was very very very rarely used in some communities. Understand that. Don’t ever say shit like “but the Jews used to live by the Bible too, and they stoned gay people!!!” No. No we didn’t. Ever. Nobody did that in ancient times.
Guess what, jews are not rich or greedy! what the fuck are you talking about??? Quit it please. This stereotype has literally been used since the Middle Ages to alienate Jews as a more privileged “other” that deserve their prosecution. Stop stop please stop, please!!!!! People actually believe this shit and commit hate crimes, stop, even as a sarcastic joke.
The Old Testament is not the same as the Torah/Tanakh. It’s just not? For one thing, the Old Testament is a translation of a cut down version of a translation of a different modified version, so no. Not the same. Also the books are ordered differently and the sections are mixed up.
God does not abandon the Jews in the Tanakh or the Old Testament for that matter. It’s like... sort of implicated to happen between the two testaments in Christianity. The Old Testament basically structured the books non-chronologically so that the last one would be Malachi because his prophecies are supposed to echo Jesus. We end the Tanakh on Nehemiah, and there is no “New Testament” for us because there’s only one and it ends at the end of the story.
Antisemitism is definitely still a thing. I don’t know who the fuck told you about this one? The Jews got treated like shit after the holocaust, and some of the few survivors 70 years later got reparations so now everybody’s acting like antisemitism doesn’t exist. It does. It really, really fucking does. Please listen to us.
Holocaust denial isn’t “a fringe conspiracy theory,” it’s genuinely awful and dangerous and hurts real people. I’m serious about this one, holocaust denial (and any genocide denial for that matter, whether it’s talking about the Armenian genocide or Holdomer or any others) is legit dangerous. Pay attention to it and have 0% tolerance for that shit
You are allowed to be invited to a jewish event if you’re not jewish! We literally do not care. Respectfully participating in traditions if you’re invited to is fine! The issue is when people take a jewish tradition and twist it into something for them. That’s a no-no, but getting invited to a seder/bar mitzvah/bris is fine. just show respect to traditions you see, even if you don’t entirely understand them. Do that and you’ll be fine.
Jews are a ridiculously diverse group of people with a lot of different beliefs! We all have vastly different ideas of fucking everything from god to the purpose of pomegranates (not a joke). Accept that we think differently form eachother and aren’t a monolith please
These are all the ones I could think of lol, jewish friends add more if you can think of some. Ok and encouraged to reblog for everyone.

Ah, I just meant double checking to refresh my own memory, so I could understand this better! But I’ll go ahead and ramble a bit about my guesses/thoughts-
(Also, although I’m using a ton of question marks, they’re meant mainly as rhetorical questions, unless you feel like responding to any of it!)
Firstly, it’s definitely interesting - for obvious reasons why - that there’s a lot of purple on the cards, as well as poor Sun’s anxious-looking eye being purple-
Upright Fool Sun - So the fool card, taken literally, is an innocent about to unwittingly fall into the unknown/danger, or whatnot? And with earlier versions of it apparently sometimes being carnival performers, and sometimes being decrepit, well, that does all sound very on the nose for Sun. Also in yours specifically, kinda looks like all he needs is stuff to care for kids? Which makes sense- And at the point he’s at in SB, he sure does need some form of (hopefully-mostly-good) change, and needs more legitimate happiness. 
Upright Hanged Man Moon - Visually, it makes immediate sense, Moon literally being the worm on a string that he is. Meaning-wise - hmm. Well he definitely has been stuck in the situation of having the virus. Whether he was legit evil at all before or not (though I don’t think he was), the virus probably made him nastier, and whether or not his bad reputation started before the virus, it definitely couldn’t have helped. Maybe some part of this even had to do with Sun ending up stuck in the daycare. With how messy Sun and Moon’s room is, despite what neat freaks they both are otherwise, I headcanon that they both have low senses of self worth, and/or depression. They both definitely need their situation to improve somehow. Since the card looks upright, that seems to imply they could do something about it themselves? Hopefully so-
Upside-down Lovers - The heart they’re forming with their hands is so cute, making it extra sad that this is upside down. Though it sure makes sense, since in SB they were sure in conflict with each other. Sun desperately wanting the lights to stay on, to stay in control, and then Moon trying to keep the lights off to try to keep his own control. I also saw some stuff about reversed lovers sometimes having to do with self-love, too? I kinda said so already, but I sure think they could both use more of that. Also respect, apparently - it would be very nice if they could learn to get along again, assuming that they once did. 
Upright(?) Tower Eclipse - The way Sun’s holding the card, and how it’s tilted slightly upward, it looks like it’s probably intended to be upright, but it’s interesting how it looks almost sideways. Chaos and destruction - although Eclipse’s current, canon appearance is only a floating head in a minigame, they sure do seem like these things. And of course, the virus in general causing chaos and destruction. Maybe the card could stand for how bad Sun and Moon’s situation is? Or maybe just how disastrous it would be if they actually became Eclipse (or if Eclipse showed up at all, however exactly, whether one thinks of Eclipse as separate from Sun and Moon, or as actually them). It would be interesting if it was thought of as reversed, though, which it almost could be. If Eclipse could somehow help Sun and Moon’s problems, even if that would probably be drastic measures? Either saving them from disaster/doom, or only a temporary fix (or that, but with Sun and Moon’s own efforts without Eclipse literally involved). The way the card’s positioned, though, I’m guessing it’s probably more bad news than good news though :’D
