#I just think!! it’s a waste!! of potential!!!!

[emeraldthelynx]

Ready for a long post about this stuff?

-Sonic 06

The potential is there, it's just buried beneath the game attempting to soft-reboot the Sonic franchise. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with Shadow's and Silver's stories, but Sonic's is a mess! I've hummed and hawed about ways to fix it, but I've never gotten anything concrete. The things I have figured out are that Elise needs to be kidnapped a total of once. She's okay going to Eggman to keep him from blowing up her kingdom, at the end, but only one kidnapping asides from that. I'm okay with Elise being human, give her a Sonic Unleashed human treatment and she'd fit right in. I do thing the affection between Sonic and Elise should be one-sided, with only Elise having feelings. I also misunderstood the thing about Elise's tears before I played the game and thought that only if they were tears of despair that they would release Iblis. So that solves the tears problem. I guess what it boils down to is making Elise more interesting and seeing what Sonic does because it's never really Sonic's story. It's what Sonic inspires other people to do.

-Sonic Forces

Approaching this with a little more approach to gameplay. Longer and more levels would do wonders, and also making three campaigns, one for Sonic, which is the first one you unlock, but he becomes a locked character after getting captured by Eggman, leaving you with the Rookie. There needs to be more Rookie levels before you encounter Sonic again, and you only get to control Classic Sonic after encountering him with either Sonic or the rookie, like how in Sonic Adventure you can unlock characters once you've interacted with them with a different one. I can't really think of anything wrong with the story, I made a post about Infinite a while back that explains why I think he's an interesting villain. I just think Forces needed 'more' and 'longer.'

-Digimon Frontier

This is such a small thing, but the animation. I want to watch it, but the animation makes it really, really hard to enjoy it.

-The Yu-gi-oh! DM filler arcs

I'm talking specifically about the Noa arc and the DOMA arc. Asides from the animation, what do you expect from Yugioh, the Noa arc needed to be put anywhere except the middle of Battle City, and maybe made a bit shorter. I also wished there was a little more playing around with the concept of them being in a Virtual World. There was so much wasted potential here. We even got a glimpse of what could have been with the Legendary Heroes arc, which set this whole thing up. More consequences, more interesting virtual world stuff, faster pacing, less Kaiba bros angst, I have thoughts. I also think that the cast of characters could have been cut down just a little. There's something there, and I haven't played around with it enough to really get what yet.

As for the DOMA arc, again, it needs to be shorter. I also think there should have been a more obvious effect of the Orichalcos card and stone, like, sensing evil, seeing the evil, a real visual effect. Something like the Dark Chips in the Megaman Battle Network series. I think Yami Yugi really should have had to wrestle with a dark influence, even before Yugi got taken. Yugi should have to deal with it too, but the darkness grips onto Yami more than him. The ending, the flashbacks, even the VS Yugi duel, it feels a bit lacklustre. We should have had cards with the characters trapped in them, like how Weevil said that one infamous card was Yugi. It would be a chase for the cards, and the cards could be used against them. The ending, what was with Yami Yugi just casually sealing the Leviathan into his body what was up with that- Ahem. Leviathan's beat, Dartz's beat. With Dartz' beat, the Leviathan does not have the power it did. There should be a speech, again, like something from the Megaman Battle Network series about darkness and how it rests in peoples' hearts and cannot be erased. Much better than whatever was going on originally.

-Sonic Prime

The wasted potential! Know what we could of had? We could of had game Sonic, the real one, travelling to Sonic X, Archie Sonic, Sonic Boom ect. Even if there were copyright issues with that, they could have done so much better than just to make 'edgy world,' 'jungle world,' and 'pirate world.' Sonic's self-loathing and air-headedness throughout the series makes it hard to watch for me. Sonic, just isn't like that. If he made a mistake, he would try to fix it. He moves on from the past and into the future. He doesn't care out of neglect, he doesn't care because he's at peace with how he can't change what's been. As for Shadow having beef with him, easy. Sonic broke the world Shadow promised Maria to save. Also, yeah. Mention. Maria. The series also moved too quickly. It felt like watching a four-hour long movie, and that didn't make it fun to watch. More self-contained episodes and even a 'filler' episode or two to have character development would have made it nicer.

-CrossFusion in the Rockman.EXE anime

CrossFusion just seemed to push the Internet aspect of the series into the background, along with the NetNavis. I think a balance could have been found, but the Internet having an effect on the real world is such an important part of the concept of the series. CrossFusion and Dimensional Areas taking that into the real world defeated the purpose of that. CrossFusion is really cool, and it can be done correctly. The Beast+ series of the anime was really good at balancing the CrossFusion and the Internet stuff. There's a couple of other things that can make it better and make the Navis more prominent. Bickering. Having Rockman and Netto (Lan) talk during the battles, make comments about how the other's feeling, and even take over for each other when they need to. Synchronization too! I just wish it was more 'Netto and Rockman are sharing a body' and less 'Netto is wearing Rockman's armour.'

-The Rockman.EXE anime in general not talking about Hub

Hub (Saito) is so important to the bond between Lan and Megaman. There's a reason they can do things that other Navi/Operator duos can't, they're literately brothers! It's hinted at very strongly in the manga, but the anime doesn't even make a hint! And there were so. Many. Opportunities! A little extra Hikari twins would have done the series good.

-World of Light in Smash Bros Ultimate

When World of Light was announced, me and my siblings were ecstatic. We were hoping it would be like Subspace Emissary in Brawl. So, much to our disappointment, there was no real plot. Just give the story/adventure mode a plot in the next Smash Bros game, that's all I ask.

-The Digimon sequel films (Tri, 02: The Beginning)

These films felt, angsty. I haven't watched Kizuna, so I can't judge that right now, but I have watched most of Tri and 02 The Beginning. I have separate complaints about them both. Tri. felt like they were squeezing in more angst and worry than there should be. The Digimon should have been in the human world to start with, like the 02 epilogue. Dark Gennai was weird, I didn't understand the plot really, I didn't feel like there was a real antagonist because there were just so many things going on at once, and also? The girls were not really treated right. Ordinimon was straight-up naked. And Mei just felt like a self-insert.

That's also my complaint with 02: The Beginning. It's like the whole plot revolved around this one OC with new information that changed canon and had a fan Digimon that had power that would bring the 02 kids into everything. I can literately summarize it as 'The 02 kids meet a new Digidestined, Lui Ohwada. Turns out he was the first-ever Digidestined! Watch as the gang teams up with Lui to save the day!' Yeah, if this was a fanfiction, I get the feeling some people would get turned off from this description. There's also far too many flashbacks. To address the self-insert thing, I have seen it done well! Amazingly well! The only thing is that the self-insert/OC needs to adapt to the world, not the world adapt to them.

-IDW Sonic

I, don't like it. Without the Freedom Fighters, I don't think the writers know how to make the story. Amy, and multiple other female characters, feel like they've been shoehorned into Sally's role, and that goes for a lot of other characters. New characters are being made to fill the old characters' shoes, and I just really, really want some new, hero, male characters. There's too many girl characters. And Surge just feels like Ian Flynn really wanted a Bass-coded rival for Sonic so that makes Kit her Treble. I don't know how much is 'Sonic' and how much is 'new people in Sonic's world.' It just feels like everybody's trying to fill space that existed in the Archie comics, but didn't need to exist in the IDW ones.

-WandaVision

This one is kinda out of left field, but I did enjoy the show. (Probably because it was mostly episodic and not 'four hour long movie.') I think the ending should have been better. And also, the premise of 'Wanda is grieving and this is her therapy' and where did that one which lady come from? The concept was there, and I loved the early episodes a lot, but the later ones just feel into the modern Marvel trap.

-Pokemon Horizons

'I want to learn about Pokemon' and a lot of really cool family backstory and connections is not enough for me to like Liko. There's nothing to really make her interesting. And Roy is just 'I want to catch the shiny Rayquaza!' I also don't know how I feel about all the Pokemon staying out of their Pokeballs all the time. By doing that, the individual Pokemon's personalities become smothered in what I like to call 'character overload.' The show suffers from this a lot actually. There's just too much and too many. The latest season is shaping up to be a bit more interesting, a bit more like the older Pokemon, but there's something about Pokemon Horizons that just feels a bit empty. It's like they're wringing out the very last drops of what once was. The Pokemon company has had success in other shows like Twilight Wings and PokeToons. I just kinda want side stories and slice of life from the series now that Ash has retired. Again, the show just feels hollow.

-Sonic Frontiers

I've talked about this before! Here and here, Frontiers has the opposite problem as Forces. There's too little going into too much. Despite having the most open world of a Sonic game, Frontiers feels the most empty. Everything is kinda 'samey' and everything feels dead. From what I've heard about the original plot, (Sonic's friends loosing their memories and Sonic looses his own when he restores them) that makes it seem much more interesting. I also wish that the DLC didn't feel shoehorned into the end of the game. Let me put it this way; Forces made me get back into the Sonic series with such a passion that I wrote a whole AU that I'm saving and hoping someday to get it picked up by SEGA. (I know that's a big dream, but still.) And Frontiers... I didn't even care when my brother said he was selling his copy, the one I had played on.

To summarize a lot of this post, Sonic always seems to have a lot of lost potential, especially when the potential is right there.

come out (wherever you are) | dnf | 1.2 k

Dream loses the second round of the duel. 

It’s—fine. It’s literally fine. He’d been too cocky, Daquivis had certainly played against him, and they had the manhunt. It would be fine. It would be great, actually, when he defeated him and finished this entire arc on a bang. He already had ideas of how he was going to edit it, even, considering he’s basically mastered the manhunt style of video. However it turns out, it would do great. His fingers tap on his desk with wasted potential. 

But he’s tired. He posts the video and deflates into his chair, trying and failing to grasp that feeling of success at finishing a project (and a good one at that) but all he ends up feeling is bone deep exhaustion. 

It weighs him down from his bones.

He wants to talk to George. 

He’d thrown him out of the room earlier, reasoning he couldn’t focus with the man in the room, and he wanted to get the video out now. He regrets it, painfully, when he looks to his loft bed and can’t see the curve of his bed curled up on top of the blankets. 

His hand finds his phone in a movement so familiar it may as well be a memory. He doesn’t struggle with it; his FaceID works and George’s contact is on top of his list, as is usual right after he’d been editing for a while. He can see George’s latest replies and he ignores it in favor of pressing FaceTime. He doesn’t have to wait for the first ring, because George picks up instantly. 

“Dream?” He asks. His voice is like finding water after walking through a desert for hours. 

“George,” he whines. He can barely help it. He’s tired, and he wants George. “I’m done. With, like, the video.”

There’s some movement on George’s end of the call that he can’t quite decipher. “That’s epic. Did you drink your water?” 

Dream’s eyelids barely open, just enough to check the half empty bottle. “A bit? I don’t know. I’m tired. I’m tiiiiired, George.” 

“I know,” George says, and suddenly he isn’t too far away, but right there. Dream isn’t sure if he fell asleep between the moments it took George to be there. He’s mostly just happy George is there at all. 

“Hi,” he says, in awe. George barely stands over him when Dream sits on his desk, but it’s a great height for Dream to collapse on George’s chest, squishing the man’s torso. 

“Hey yourself,” George replies. A hand finds Dream’s hair, and it pets it gently enough that he feels like melting. “Are you crashing?” 

Dream is not sure. He feels tired enough that if his head hits the pillow he’s going to pass out for days, maybe, but all that tiredness is no longer on his system. Just touching George must have some healing abilities, just like the chamomile his mother keeps in her garden. He’s sure science should study this perfect man and find what makes him so great, but he thinks it would be annoying to have scientists run tests on how great George is, so he’s fine with gatekeeping, actually. 

He just burrows more into George’s chest, pressing as close as he can. 

“You’re fine,” George soothes. “Is this about you flopping?” 

It isn’t really. Dream lost, but it’s fine, because he will do better next round. But the way he lost and had to bite his tongue was just—annoying. And editing his own defeat was demoralizing, in a way. He ends up groaning into George’s chest, which makes him laugh. It shakes his entire body, and makes Dream smile a bit. The first real smile he’s had for hours. 

“Not really,” he mumbles. 

“Oh, Dreamie,” George laughs, a little softer. “Come up, you need to lay down.” 

He stands up and follows George to his own bedroom with force he couldn’t have summoned on his own. It’s the desire to follow wherever George goes, really, what leads his head into the man’s lap, curling over his legs. If it’s uncomfortable for George to have his weight on top of him, he doesn’t show it, just resumes his head pets and offers a small, unassuming looking granola bar. Dream eats it with a pout, already used to George’s tactics. 

There’s some restless energy inside of Dream, the part of him that—no matter how much he’s already done, accomplished, archived—always wants more. His body isn’t cooperating and, yet still, he wishes he could do something. He feels his mouth open before he figures out what he wants to say. 

“It’s so annoying,” Dream begins, a bit shy. 

All he needs is a small hum from George before he starts ranting, elaborating on every complaint and failure he hadn’t had the chance to discuss with George. Everything he felt and thought spills out of him in strong waves, like the sea hitting shore rocks of George’s understanding. He asks Dream for clarification, on occasion, but mostly lets Dream just vent about everything that transpired for the video. He hums at the right parts, clicks his tongue when he’s supposed to, giggles at Dream’s clever insults. Slowly, so slowly, his body starts to respond to him again, his hand finding purpose in explaining movements or certain thoughts that require the capitalization of his arms. George’s gentle comfort doesn’t stop, but it moves to where he can reach, softly touching Dream’s neck and shoulders at certain parts of his rambles.

By the point that he’s all done, he’s managed to drag George down so he’s just as vertical as himself, with half of his body sprawled on top of Dream’s. He’s holding him, and George’s have just been tracing small shapes on Dream’s chest hair for the past half hour or so. He isn’t sure of what time has truly passed, but it feels like a good estimate. His brain feels sharp again, and so does his body, all the tension being released by just getting to be lazy and next to George. 

“I needed that,” Dream laughs a little, ducking his head down in embarrassment. George’s left hand comes up to his face, squishing it with force, and makes Dream look into his eyes. For a second, all Dream sees are freckles. 

“Yer welcome,” George tells him with a goofy smile. Then, his expression softens. “Do you feel less tired?” 

“Yeah,” Dream answers, offering a small smile. “I wasn’t like—it was like mind tired, y’know. Not really tired, but I don’t know, this was fun. Thank you.” 

“That is really tired,” George corrects him, abusing his hold on Dream’s face to press a single kiss on his lips and then scotting back. “And that’s, like, the point. Don’t thank me.” 

“You always help,” Dream says, not oblivious to how completely enamoured he sounds. 

“Stop,” George scoffs. He can’t, however, hide the soft blush that contrasts quite nicely with the dark curls he has. “You’re an idiot. ‘Not really tired’, stupid.” 

“Okay, well, whatever,” Dream says. “Are we gonna sleep or what.” He can feel the hours he didn’t sleep coming back with force. And he hasn’t slept next to George in ages, so his heart expands and threatens to explode with the force of his hope. 

“If you insist,” George says, like he isn’t leaning towards their blinds.

this is fascinating to me i guess because what kind of social benefit even accrues from “pretending” to care about trauma. like do you think most guys who jerk off to the step-incest category on pornhub or most people who read rape/non-con erotica on ao3 bother to read judith herman and post about it. i have a different opinion of both activities and the people who engage in them than op, obviously, but it is like if you just want to have an incest fetish what would be the point of making a pretense of caring about actual incestuous abuse. that’s not a thing people need to or are inclined to waste time on. like all it gets you is shit like this. it doesn’t ward off anything, and generally, making potential victims aware of the systemic causes and interpersonal dynamics by which abuse is enabled and carried out is deleterious to the pursuit of abusing people so idk how it helps “perpetuate” any “cycles.”

Spoiled

Pairing: Seth Rollins x Reader

Summary: (Name) was spoiled, there was no denying that. Seth spoiled her. He tended to show his love with his money. And she was very, very loved.

Trigger/Content Warning(s): smut, oral sex (male receiving), dirty talk, slight daddy kink, masturbation, squirting

Word Count: 2837

A/N: I read a Fic by @spiicii (I hope you don’t mind me tagging you) that made me love the idea of Seth spoiling his lover like this. I think there’s potential to this idea/plot I’ve set up in this Fic, might do more.

Waking up to the sun pouring into the large main bedroom was something (Name) would never be used to. Living in a deluxe penthouse apartment with her lover and boyfriend brought about so many new experiences. The first of which was living in a deluxe penthouse apartment.

She stretched, as she sat up. She’d woken up alone in bed this morning. Not the most unusual occurrence. Even when he was in town, Seth went to the gym first thing in the morning. He did his best to not disturb her when he would slip out of their shared bed before heading to work out for a couple hours in the private gym in their building.

(Name) rubbed her eyes before slipping out of bed herself. She grabbed her fluffy robe off of the bench at the end of the bed. She walked through the apartment to the chef’s kitchen. She stared in awe at everything once more. He’d just had it renovated for her. Running her fingers over the butcher block countertops she made her way to the refrigerator.

Seth wasn’t home now, but one look at the clock told her he would be home any minute. And after the gym he would take a shower. So she began to take things out of the fridge to make them both a hearty breakfast.

Seth walked into the place he had bought for his sweet (Name) to the smell of bacon frying. He grinned, she was far too predictable. But he liked that about her.

He had put this place in her name even though he had paid for it and nearly every new thing in it. She had chosen it after all. It had been an anniversary present when he knew that they were in this for the long haul. He insisted that money was no object in this case.

He wanted her to have a place to call home. He hated the idea of her renting a tiny place that didn’t match with how grand she was. He peeked into the kitchen as he headed towards the stairs to head up to take a shower after his usual workout routine.

(Name) had heard the door and Seth’s footsteps and smiled as she continued to work on their breakfast. Sautéing some mushrooms and onions to go into her omelet.

She liked this routine that they had when he wasn’t traveling.

She had just finished plating up their individual omelets when Seth made his way back down the stairs. He was dressed in some lounge pants, that probably cost more than her prom dress had, and a t-shirt. Even when he was relaxing at home he looked fashionable.

“Right on time,” she teased.

Seth chuckled and pressed a kiss to her temple as he joined her at the table in their little breakfast nook. Even though the kitchen had been renovated and the appliances updated, the style she had wanted was a more cozy look. Not streamlined. He liked that about her.

She hadn’t given up on who she was even with access to his money.

“You know some people would say you were crazy for not letting me hire a chef,” he teased.

“And why would I do that?” She asked him, smiling before taking a bite, adding after, “I like cooking and baking. It would have been a waste of money.”

He nodded, “And I like your cooking,” he added.

(Name) smiled at him, she looked at him with affection most of the time. He liked to spoil her with his money, but she felt most spoiled when he spent his time with her.

“What do you want to do today, sweetness?” He asked, using his favorite term of endearment for her.

“I’m not sure, honestly I’d like to stay in, I haven’t had you to myself in months,” (Name) said honestly.

He’d been working round the clock pretty much, traveling to a new place every week. (Name) usually traveled with him a few months out of the year. But due to a broken ankle she hadn’t been able to during their original schedule. She hated flying in a cast.

“Well, I’ve got a couple weeks while I heal from that muscle strain,” He winked about the injury that had been written into the show that was WWE for him so he could rest before his next big storyline was supposed to begin, “If my baby wants to just stay inside today we will.”

(Name) smiled at him before looking down shyly. Sometimes it was hard to remember a time before Seth Rollins came into her life. Before he decided she would be his everything and swept her off her feet. Spoiling her nearly rotten with designer bags, jewelry, clothes...supporting her hobbies and allowing her access to the kinds of things she could only dream of.

Taking her to restaurants that she only used to read about in magazines.

But more than that...loving her.

These elaborate gifts were his way of showing his affection.

Spending money on her made him happy.

It was crazy to (Name) who hadn’t had anyone want to treat her so well before. And it made her uncomfortable at first. He had to ease her into accepting the gifts he wanted to shower her with.

“I was thinking of starting to sell some of the jewelry I make,” She said after a moment of thought, it was her main hobby and she had so many pieces that she didn’t really wear but were still too good to break apart and reuse the beads, “Like online.”

“You could,” Seth said, he would always support her no matter what, “You want to pick and choose a few pieces later and start to figure out what you’d want the site to be called?”

“Maybe,” (Name) said, “Like I said...I’d like to spend most of today with you.”

“I can do that with you,” Seth chuckled, “You know I'm the most fashionable man in the WWE.”

“More stylish than most of the MET Gala in the past few years,” (Name) joked, “They should just get over themselves and invite you.”

“You know I would kill it,” Seth laughed.

(Name) giggled and nodded.

They finished their breakfast and Seth insisted on cleaning up so she could go get herself ready for the day. Even if they were staying in.

He pressed a kiss to her temple with a grin before she left the kitchen.

(Name) had to laugh to herself when she looked at the dresser full of her loungewear. T-shirts and comfortable pants. She grabbed her favorite leggings and an oversized shirt, perfect for a comfortable day at home. It was one of his merch shirts, of course. Maybe it was subconscious or maybe she just wanted to tease Seth.

Or maybe it was because she had every single shirt of his released.

She got dressed and headed back downstairs to find Seth in the living room, lounging on the couch, waiting for her. She made her way over and slipped into his lap rather than sitting beside him.

Seth grinned and wrapped an arm around her.

“Clingy today,” He teased.

“I missed you.” She told him simply, turning her head to press her lips to his, “It gets lonely around here when you’re gone.”

“Maybe I should get you a dog,” He joked.

But he was serious if she wanted a pet he would help her find the perfect one. He wanted her to be happy. And definitely not lonely when he had to work and she couldn’t come with him.

“Maybe,” She said, she would love to have a dog again.

At her last apartment she couldn’t have pets and she missed having a furry companion to keep her company.

Seth handed her the remote to pick a show or movie to watch to start their day. (Name) thought about it for a moment before deciding that since she had him pretty much all to herself for the next couple weeks it was the perfect time to binge one of her favorite shows with him.

She opened Hulu and typed in the first word of the series, ‘Sons…’, with a grin.

When the first episode started she settled into his hold with a smile she knew he would like the show if he gave it a real chance.

—

After a couple episodes (Name) got up to get them some snacks together to continue their lazy day together. She could think of a few other things they could be doing, but they didn’t allow her to stay in his arms the entire time.

She settled back on the couch with a bowl of popcorn for the pair of them while cuddling into his side.

These were the moments she felt the most spoiled. When he spent the entire day with her. Just doing typical couple things like binge watching a show together.

Their time together was more valuable than any gift he could give her.

—

The day rolled on while they lay together on the couch. Ordering dinner in and just enjoying each other’s company.

They turned her show off after dinner and (Name) headed upstairs for a shower. She had been shopping the day before and bought something new to wear just for Seth.

She cleaned herself up and was blow drying her hair when she heard her boyfriend enter the bedroom. She smiled to herself. She wanted to show him her gratitude for how much he spoiled her.

She set her hair drier down and pulled on a new sexy lingerie set that she had bought to wear for her man. Lacy and a sweet, soft pink color. Practically corruptible. His favorite way for her to look.

She fluffed her hair into a perfectly messy look and spritzed on her favorite perfume. Even topping off the look with some pink lipstick that suited the look and mascara...not waterproof...he liked to see the results when they were together.

After slipping the satiny robe she had bought in the matching color she opened the bathroom door to find Seth lounging on the bed, his shirt discarded. She had to stand there for a moment. His body was something special. The definition of his muscles even as he lay in bed was perfection.

He was so strong.

So powerful.

And she couldn’t help but shiver.

Seth looked up when he realized that she hadn’t come right to bed and the sight of her standing there like that, leaning against the doorframe, long legs leading up to a short hemmed robe. He could only imagine what she was wearing below the robe. A dark, practically lecherous, grin spread over his lips.

“Whatcha got under there for me, sweetness?” He purred, setting his phone aside.

She smiled coyly and undoes the loose bow that she had tied into the robe, “I might have bought something special for you to enjoy tonight, Daddy,” she cooed.

That had Seth’s entire attention now. He knew just what kind of mood she was in when she called him that. He sat up, the gleam of lust in his eyes practically predatory now. He licked his lips and let out a groan as she dropped the robe, revealing the sexy and sweet lingerie she had bought.

“What do you think, Daddy?” She purred.

“You look fucking delectable,” Seth growled and motioned her over, “Get over here and show Daddy just how much you missed him.”

(Name) obeyed eagerly. But she still did her best to keep that sexy sway to her hips as she did so. Wanting to tease and entice her man.

When she was standing in front of Seth on his side of their king sized bed his hands quickly found purchase on her hips. He looked up at her, eyes blown wide with lust.

“You’re a filthy fucking tease, you know that babygirl?” He growled.

“Only for you, Daddy,” (Name) murmured and rested her hands on his shoulders before dropping to her knees eagerly in front of him, “Let me be good for you tonight,” she breathed.

“You’re always so good for me,” he praised her gently and gently stroked her hair.

(Name) smiled at the praise and helped him out of his lounge pants and underwear before settling back between his knees, kissing his inner thigh submissively. He never made submitting like this feel like an obligation, she wanted to. She enjoyed it just as much as he did.

“Gonna open your mouth for me?” Seth asked with a wicked grin spread over his face.

“Yes Daddy,” (Name) chirped and let her mouth fall open, sticking her tongue out teasingly.

Seth rested his hand on top of her head, a subtle urge for her to begin. So she took some initiative and leaned in to teasingly lick along the underside of his cock. She moaned at the taste, she knew it was taboo, but she loved giving head. Especially to the man she was kneeling in front of right now.

She set her hands on his thighs as she continued to tease him. Her skilled tongue tracing over his cock like it was second nature.

She took the tip between her lips and slowly began to smooth them over the head, suckling just so to earn a shiver and pleased moan from her lover. Seth was very vocal in bed and she relished in that. She loved that she knew just how to get these reactions from him.

She began to take more of him into her mouth, sucking and teasing the sensitive flesh with her tongue. Seth flexed his fingers in her hair a bit, urging her on.

“Good girl,” He growled.

She took more of him inside and began to bob her head. Sucking him off just like he liked. Moaning around him. Her pussy wet with desire. She slipped one hand into her pretty, lace panties to begin teasing herself while sucking Seth’s dick.

He groaned at the sight, “Such a perfect slut for me, so good...you love sucking my dick don’t you baby?” He growled.

(Name) just moaned around him and kept bobbing her head back and forth. Taking more and more into her mouth until she had nearly all of his length in her mouth.

“Just a bit more, you can take it,” Seth encourages lewdly while grasping her hair, giving it a slight tug.

She whimpered and did as he said, forcing that last inch into her mouth, gagging slightly as usual. She could handle it, he was right. And she loved to handle it.

She held herself down on him for a moment before pulling back to begin bobbing her head again. Burying two of her fingers into her pussy while she did so.

She held her head down again once she caught her breath as best she could. Gagging and moaning around him.

She was fingering herself all while she was gagging on his cock.

She pulled off once more, sucking him more. This was probably the sloppiest head she’d given in a while and she loved it and could tell that Seth did as well. His groans were feral sounding and only served to turn her on more.

When she pressed herself back down once more Seth’s hand tightened in her hair to keep her there. “Look at me,” he ordered her in a slight snarl, he was close.

Her eyes flicked up to lock with his and he let out a low growl of a groan as he came hard down her throat. She moaned and swallowed every drop.

He let her pull off of him and lean back, so he could see her finger herself to completion. She may still have her panties on but he could hear and see how wet she was.

“Oh fuck...can I cum Daddy?” She whimpered.

“Cum for me, ruin those pretty panties I paid for,” he growled.

(Name) let out a whine as she came hard, a fish of liquid between her thighs was she soaked her panties just as he wanted her too.

She pulled her hand out of her panties and Seth grasped her wrist to bring her hand to his mouth so he could suck her sweetness off of her fingers. He never passed up the opportunity to taste her.

After he was satisfied he let her pull her fingers from his mouth. He urged her onto the bed and into his lap. One of his large hands cupped her cheek sweetly.

“You know that I love you right?” He asked, his voice soft.

He always asked that after even the lightest of intense moments. It was his way of assuring her that she was his equal. His love. His queen.

“I do, Seth, and I love you too,” She murmured and leaned in to press her lips to his.

He may spoil her with his money then fuck her like a toy...but he loved her. And she loved him.

Ruby: If we had a fighting-

Jaune: Yes.

Ruby: Jaune I didn't-

Jaune: No-no. We would be more profitable if we were a fighting game. And no, not a Naruto Ninja Storm rip-off, I mean BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, and Street Fighter game.

Ruby: Just say 2D fighting games.

Jaune: Whatever. Ruby, what are we known for?

Ruby: Our story.

Jaune: Our fight animation.

Ruby: And our-

Jaune: Bitch, our story sucks ass. The manga died. We're in Viz Media but we still have nothing going on. We might as well be stuck in limbo. And if we get volume 10 confirmed we have to do damage control and advertisement. Our fan base could help but still.

Ruby: Okay rude. But why not like Naruto games?

Jaune: Hold on. …. ….Okay my bad, Naruto Ninja Storm is a good idea. I mean people can finally explore the streets of Remnant and fight against other characters in a 2v2. At least we can go with the official fourth game where we can switch characters.

Ruby: Thank you.

Jaune: But the reason I say 2d is because of how many fighters we could have. Hell, your team and Neo were in 2d. Remember BlazBlue Crosstag? You all played well. It's a good start considering you already laid out the bases.

Ruby: Yeah.

Jaune: Remember BlazBlue and Guilty Gear are more known for their fighting formulas, not their stories. Even though Guilty Gear might have it better than BlazBlue. 

Ruby: Based on opinion. To each his own.

Jaune: And with so many characters with their own lives and personalities, seeing that in a game where you can play as them and catch up with their lives. It would be amazing.

Ruby: Alright. Then who would be-

Jaune: Salem.

Ruby: Yeah she is a one-note villain. But what about-

Jaune: Again so many characters any of us can be the final boss. 

Ruby: You're right. You're right.

Jaune: And why stop there? We could have beat 'em up games and J-RPG games. We could have been Kingdom Hearts. Dynasty Warriors. Tales of series-type games. Someone made a fan-made game with that formula in mind and it is still better than our actual game. We have the potential.

Ruby: Damn.

Jaune: I'm just saying Ruby if we're going to be stuck in a non-productive domain we might as well think of other ways to profit off our brand. Just saying.

Ruby: Damn. 

Jaune: Like only five of you were in the game. Which is sad.

Ruby: It wasn't that bad. Besides, it was a BlazBlue game.

Jaune: So Persona and Under Night in birth, somehow managed to get almost all their major players in the game. Meanwhile, we only have five. And Neo was only added because she was popular in our show. 

Ruby: Your point?

Jaune: BlazBlue Crosstag had BlazBlue, Persona, Under Night in Birth, and you, Rwby. They have almost all the major characters from three games while you have a measly five. So instead of adding more Rwby characters they used the remaining four slots for other characters. Characters who had nothing to do with the story or the brand. It is a false advertisement. 

Ruby: Wow Jaune. Are you mad?

Jaune: I'm saying Qrow, Cinder, Penny, or my team could have been in that game. Hell, why not Roman? Just saying wasted slots.

Yu: Yeah, Ruby. He has a point.

Ruby: Yu.

Ragna: Like a lot of our characters were in the game. It might as well be another BlazBlue game.

Ruby: Ragna.

Hyde: Yeah they did y'all dirty. Like most if not all of our characters were in that game.

Yu: Ours too. 

Jaune: Like I said, false advertisement.

[cintasvel]

there's a lot of things that frustrate me about cinta's death, but i think ultimately it comes down to how cinta isn't really 'seen' as a character worth investing in or thinking about in any way but a tool for others. whether that be vel (who i love dearly btw this is not to hate on vel) or samm, who saves cassian and is now considered redeemed because of that one singular act.

and i get it. cinta is not a main character (alyssa wong give me a cinta kaz star wars comic and my LIFE is YOURS) but neither was brasso. brasso was given the time and investment (and care!!!) to have his life showcased before he died. cinta was portrayed as this ruthless, cold and pragmatic warrior and when we finally, finally get the opportunity to see her in a light where she chooses vel over the rebellion, it's snuffed out solely to give vel pain. for as much as cinta acknowledges her and vel being tools to luthen, cinta herself is a character that ultimately gets tossed aside so quickly that i'm still flabbergasted people genuinely think that this was a narratively satisfying death.

what's worse is that vel's monologue really hits home for me because cinta really was THE rebel, you know? she was dedicated to the cause in ways that not even cassian is (or was, but i have my own thoughts about cassian's development in this season... spoiler: they are not good) and it's wild to me that tony gilroy had a character like that and just chose to waste her potential for vel/samm. the former who barely has her own scenes as it is. maybe i'll feel differently about this once i finish the series, but i can't lie, andor s1 felt so character-driven that s2 just doesn't come close to comparing. i feel like this is yet another issue with andor being just 2 seasons and gilroy cramming 4-5 years of development into 1, but it's hard not to be annoyed by it.

and again, because i feel like i have to say this every time i talk about cinta's death, the issue isn't killing her off, it's doing it in the most uninspired, downright lazy way because queer women of color's stories are not worth investing in outside of white people's pain. the execution is bad.

anyway no. i'm still not over cinta's death and i fear i will never be. i still love andor, i'm just so disappointed at the same time.

[persona-brainrot-real]

It is once again “why didn’t they let ryuji have any empathy for yusuke” era. Nothing like a game establishing that both of them have abusive/neglectful/awful dads and then instead of ryuji trying to connect with yusuke and show him that madarame is abusing him, he just gets angry at him?? For what????? Why???? There was so much potential

[nnobodoodles]

Huh.

So I randomly remembered Croc is pretty much Italian.

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

finally at that age where i'm thinking i should get a tattoo. not bc i feel strongly about it, just seems like a waste not to. i've got so much skin i'm not using

[joyandthephantoms]

To be so so honest part of it for me is just simply my personality: I’m a bit of a contrarian by nature, I love to be Different, and especially as a writer and fandom participant, I like to feel like I’m bringing something unique to the table, and exploring less popular ships is a fun and easy way to do that. 

To make an actual case for them, though: I do genuinely think Nick is a sweetheart. I get where people are coming from with the Nice Guy (derogatory) interpretation, but that’s just not how I see him at all. 

A point commonly made against Nick and against Nick/Julie as a pair is that he didn’t appreciate her until she started to be successful, and I don’t think that’s really fair. I think it’s more accurate to say he wasn’t interested in her until he really saw who she was, and I don’t think it’s his fault that he didn’t know her all that well before—they’re friendly acquaintances; she’s clearly been crushing from afar. 

And I think it’s worth noting that he’s not really too different from Luke in this regard, either: they both like Julie after seeing her shine in a stunning musical performance. It’s not Nick’s fault he didn’t have the privilege of witnessing Wake Up. 

I think, too, that as he is beginning to see who Julie really is, he is simultaneously becoming more and more aware of Carrie’s true nature. It’s not new information—we know that they’ve broken up multiple times, and Nick’s reactions to her behavior very much read as someone who is exhausted with a Pattern. But I think Carrie’s pettiness and bullying reach new heights as her jealousy of Julie takes center stage. 

We see Nick try to gently but firmly urge Carrie to be better, we see her completely reject this, and we see Nick grow more and more frustrated with her refusal to change. 

So that’s how I see Nick in canon: a kid who is coming to terms with how toxic this long-standing relationship of his has been, and who is newly getting the chance to see what a light Julie is. And I think that once he knows what he wants, he’s shown to consistently be a supportive and reliable and caring person, and of course I want that for our girl Julie. 

So that’s, like, my baseline interpretation of Nick’s canon behavior that I’m pulling from. And then for me, a lot of the real fun of Julie/Nick as a ship comes in post-canon speculation. 

It’s insane that he just gets possessed. I really truly love thinking through the implications of the trauma that would cause him, and creating storylines from there. 

Imagine, if you will, that you’re a regular high school boy, and you’ve finally broken up with your toxic girlfriend, for good this time, and you have a crush on your classmate you’ve known of for forever but never really truly gotten to know. Imagine feeling like you're finally moving in the right direction after wasting years. And then an evil ghost takes over your body for the sole purpose of destroying your crush’s life.  Imagine the trauma of having no control over your actions for, potentially, weeks or months on end, just watching someone else hurt people through you. Imagine the absolutely debilitating guilt you’d feel. And then imagine she forgives you anyway!!

Think about Julie Molina, the girl who loved her band back to life, looking at another boy who has been killed, in a way, and saying, Hey, you too. You deserve love too. Think about Nick fighting Caleb because he just can’t let him hurt Julie like this. Think about them holding hands and surviving. 

Do you get it, a little?

if there are any people that ship julie and Nick I would like to hear why. I'm not judging I'm just wondering why you ship them 😭

[blueskittlesart]

in the nicest and most non-confrontational way possible. i feel like some of you think that anything that isn't directly openly spelled out for you within a story is "missed potential" or "unexplored." like. sometimes there are implied narratives. sometimes the point is that you as the reader are supposed to think and draw your own conclusions and participate in the story. the writers not directly spelling every little detail out for you doesn't mean that the story is poorly written or missed its own plot details somehow. PLEASE.

[kkpaaw]

Unironically I think the only one who would possibly understand Arin's feelings of urgency about his parents is the one who's forgotten his

Cuz u can't tell me that if Ed n Edna went missing Jay wouldn't drop everything to go look for them, world saving be damned.

Even now without is memories I still feel like he would understand more than the others and that not me saying that the others wouldn't care

I'm just saying that out of the entire ninja group Arin and Jay are the only ones who's had loving doting parents in their lives this entire time up until now.(Arin presumably im hoping they dont make Arin's parents pieces of shit ngl kinda tired of the ninja having parental issuss LOL) They haven't really had lives without their parents (Kai, Lloyd, Nya n Zane(the special case he is)) or with parents who may not have been the best (Sora, Cole, etc)

Jay's biggest conflict with his parents was just them being too overbearing and doting unlike someone like Cole who has been at odds with his dad for presumably years before they made up and started reparing their relationship or Sora who's parents fucking suck ass

I'm convinced that if Jay hadn't lost his memories he would be either with his parents right now or looking for them, wondering about them etc. Either way they would be on his mind

Anyway thank u for coming to my Ted talk

[dykedvonte]

MacCready being one of the few companions to not lose affinity if you eat people makes sense when you remember the fungus in Little Lamp Light grew from decomposing bodies. Like the kids weren’t eating people directly but they were eating people adjacent things.

Not to mention how the Lone Wanderer can trick the kids at LLL into buying “strange meat” to eat which is just human so it’s more likely than not they have just straight up ate people so he’s either very desensitized, knows what food desperation can do to people or feels he really has not ground to stand on since he was in the same boat whether he wanted to be or not.

[nocofamilyau]

not related to noco at all but what is katie and sadie’s relationship like now?

pretty good all things considered! while they're both married to two sweet guys and have separate families (none of their kids are other td characters, unfortunately...) they're still really close, and still live next to each other at that same beach town they grew up in, now both running that successful 80s themed ice cream business they've been dreaming of! its safe to say they probably suffered the least on Total Drama, only leaving with a couple of minor scars, good god were they lucky..

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

i still haven’t really had the time to process my emotions but i really am soooo upset that we didn’t get a funeral …….. like . there are a lot of things i forgive akutami for because of how awful his work schedule must be / how hellish writing is in general but choosing to throw in that last minute mission instead of a funeral to really show grief over gojo’s death is not one of them …… i just don’t really understand it? i’ve always disagreed with the fandom’s ooc allegations and i still do now because nothing the characters did or said this chapter was ooc, but if they aren’t shown grieving beforehand then obviously people are going to feel that gap… :’)

the literal only issue is that what we know must have happened between these chapters wasn’t shown to us. and that just makes me so so sad . we know how many people cared about gojo, yuji tells him that ’none of us could ever forget you’ and maybe that’s akutami’s way of showing that, but since the characters don’t even explicitly mention that he’s dead everything just falls kinda flat … i’m still praying on my knees for an ova chapter / for mappa to add stuff in season 4, but rn i just feel very sad :< the gap of writing quality between 261 and 271 is just really jarring … i liked a lot of things in this chapter. but i just can’t get past the funeral thing …….

[anotheraverageairbreather]

Now that the main GSNK ships are finally seeing some progress (Waka knows Seo is Lorelei, Kashima and Hori Kiss, Nozaki realizing his feelings, Ryousuke and Miyako are together, etc), does anyone think Mayu and Mikorin have a shot at being canon??? I mean they’re relationship is absolutely set up in a way that is COULD happen plot wise, and the Manga is fruitier than a Jamba Juice, but they’ve been given so much less attention than the other ships ( that could also be because Mayu isn’t like a member of the main cast tho???) idk my hopes aren’t HIGH per se, but I feel like there’s a non zero chance! Like I’m sitting at a solid 7%
