#I love him a lot tho he is my specialist guy

[draayder]

oooh love this

Name: Akanishi Motome

Likely locations: Tokyo near exclusively

Active period(s): 1980s-2019. he joined up at like 16

Role: Majima Family man. huge Majima stan (who isn't in that family) and self-proclaimed HR guy who never forgets a face. very solid bruiser

Likely first/quick impression: a gaudy little guy with a little too much confidence. who let him in here

More detailed impression: 5 foot nothing with a red-dyed undercut, a gold bridge piercing, and a missing pinky on his left hand. green suit, ho-o tattoo on his back w/ snakes on his arms. casual to an alarming degree. quick shift to violence when pushed too far but it takes a lot. very >:3c kinda guy except he's like 40+

Likely scenarios: any kind of Majima Family drudgery from collection calls to negotiations to setting up some convoluted Majima Everywhere scheme. general gay activities. likes sniffing out potential double agents lurking in the family. big drinker. works extra hard to avoid cops because he's a trans guy

Canon relationships: unfortunate Shimano Family goon who got demoted to the Majima Family somewhere around 2003-2004. later he's somewhere higher up in the Majima Family depending on the point in the timeline. Lieutenant, captain, who knows. He might not even know. gets a kyoudai over in the Saejima Family when that gets formed. he seems to know damn near everyone in the Tojo, often scaring the shit out of some nobody in a 3rd string family by calling them by full name and title

What can you do: uhhhhhhhh most things are fine? you can kill him if you really want to. just maybe don't be wildly transphobic about him or something and you can go wild

Yakuza OC registry

The idea is to reblog this post and list your OC with just enough basic info so that others can easily name drop or reference them as an easter egg! feel free to also link any other more substantial informational posts you have; for this thread let's keep it nice and quick! I'll go first

Name: Kadokura Kenshi

Likely locations: Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka

Active period(s): 1970s+. Depends on AU. hes alive or dead whenever he needs to be

Role: powerful CEO of Sapporo-based arms company Rachi Heavy Industries. Has ties with yakuza, but more or less a reputable businessman.

Likely first/quick impression: smiling, sharply dressed businessman.

More detailed impression: very strong jawline, short wavy black hair, gregarious and friendly—in a way acts more American than Japanese. Expressive hands.

Likely scenarios: being polite to service workers/giving good tips, schmoozing with powerful people, speaking foreign languages, getting very intoxicated at clubs or parties, (rarely) serial killing a homeless person or someone else 'no one will miss.'

Canon relationships: friends with Sagawa and Andre Richardson. Close professional relationship with Kitakata Daizo. Ties with Jingweon before the massacre. Knows all the yakuza brass in both Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance. Koga Matsuhisa started out as an intern with Rachi Heavy Industries and they're friends now.

What can you do : no holds barred. kill him brutally if you want. i will laugh heartily.

I love to imagine all of my Ryan F/Os sitting in a little room in my head and chilling out and hanging out with each other. Even the ones I haven't "met" yet (movies I haven't seen but will eventually)

You know that meme from the office "I love inside jokes. Would love to be a part of one someday"? Well it's Holland March and Jacob Palmer being impatient for me to finally enter their universe. "We love our girlfriend Keri. Would love to actually meet her someday"

Whispers in the Ward

doctorcharliemayhewxnursereader

a/n: I wanted to write about Dr. Charlie even tho I love father charlie. Sooo this is kinda following the plot but y/n and charlie were together in Lois coma…. not proofread

Dr. Charlie Mayhew was a dedicated and skilled physician, known for his calm demeanor and exceptional care. Me, equally committed and compassionate, worked alongside him in the bustling hospital. We had a great professional relationship, often relying on each other during the most challenging cases.

One day, we were assigned to care for a patient named Mrs. Lois Tryon , who had been in a coma for several weeks. Miraculously, Mrs. Tryon woke up one afternoon when Dr. Charlie was assigned to pass her on, much to the delight of Charlie and I. As she slowly regained her strength, she began sharing vivid dreams she had experienced during her coma to a specialist.

"You two were always together in her dreams," the specialist told us."It was like you were a couple, always by each other's side, as a priest and detective, but in some perverted ways.” Charlie and Lauren exchanged amused glances, at the specialist comments. "Well, we're just good colleagues," Charlie said, smiling. I felt a little pit in my stomach when he said that.

As the days went by, the specialist words lingered in my mind. I found myself thinking about him more often, noticing little things I hadn't before. Sure charlie is an attractive guy but I never thought I’d be with him in that way. He’s my boss, I appreciated Charlie's wisdom and gentle nature.

One evening, after a particularly long shift, we ended up in elevator together. As the elevator doors slid shut, the air between Dr. Charlie and me crackled with unspoken tension. “Maybe Mrs. Tryon was onto something," Charlie said, breaking the comfortable silence. "I've been thinking a lot about what the specialist told us she said, and I can't help but wonder if there's more between us than just being colleagues."

I looked into his eyes, feeling a flutter in my chest. "I've been thinking the same thing, Charlie. I really enjoy spending time with you, and I think there's something special between us." "Let's see where this goes, y/n. I think we owe it to ourselves to find out." Without another word, Charlie closed the distance between us, his hands gently cupping my face. Their eyes met, and in that instant, the world outside the elevator ceased to exist. Slowly, he leaned in, our breaths mingling as our lips finally met in a searing kiss.

The kiss was intense, filled with all the passion and longing we had kept bottled up for so long. Charlie's hands slid down to my waist, pulling me closer as our bodies pressed together. My fingers tangled in his hair, deepening the kiss as i poured all my feelings into that one moment.

Time seemed to stand still as we kissed, the elevator continuing its silent ascent. When we finally pulled apart, both were breathless, our foreheads resting against each other.

As the elevator doors opened, we knew that nothing would ever be the same.

Im not finished with Carlos fully but he looks good enough for right now ( he’s 22 in this picture here)

I changed Carlos and Evie up, so now Evie is a vain witch like her mother who is fashionable but she doesn’t sew her own stuff. ( which is for the better cse wtf was that ugly ass dress she made for Mal in D2???)

Carlos considers himself to be a very expensive person and can be pretty big germaphobe. He hates getting anything on his clothes and he refuses to wear the school uniforms at Auradon Uni because they’re ugly. He wears lots of black white grey and red, with gold accents usually. He does theme around dog associated items like gold bone cutlets, paw print lapel chains, and a tennis ball brooch. He often wears red gloves and his favorite shoes are his collection of red bottom dress shoes. He likes hiding red on the interlining of his clothes too, such as his jackets and hats and vests.

A lot of his own person style is derived from 1990s London fashion ( as the artist that means I get my references from the 1996 101 Dalmatians live action movie, the styling of Cruela in that movie is ICONIC AND IMACULATE, and I MUST reference her for Carlos.

PURRRR

Of course he wears REAL animal print. And he’s not a weak touch me not prick like some think. He’s still tech savvy and does Anyalitics and specs for the core four. He also loves GUNS 😄. Think of him like a sharp shooter who stays in the back of turf wars and snipes people. The isle doesn’t have many marks men ( they all really like swords for some reason) so he’s pretty dangerous. He builds his own weapons too.

His passion started out as a way for him to collect his own furs but Harry gets him most of what he needs plus he always needs Carlos to redo his wardrobe ( he gets… messy… after a couple days work) Carlos hates that Harry ruins his creations so fast but he pays him well and gifts him rare fabrics and samples from Auradon.

Because Carlos has no magic Mal always underestimates him. She sees him as only a stylist and ranged weapon specialist. Even tho she acknowledges him for his wit and tech skills she still doesn’t listen to him. Sometimes he wishes he could stay with Harry but then he’d have to do more work up front. Harry understood what Carlos was capable of and respected him a lot. What Harry doesn’t understand is that not everybody likes to be covered head to toe in hot sticky blood 24/7. Harry had also promised him a suite on his boat that nobody else was allowed to occupy, but even if Harry’s crew feared HARRY they wouldn’t mind having an attitude with CARLOS for preferential treatment, even if it is what he deserves 🙄

Harry and Carlos’s relationship is the definition of there are two wolves inside you. Carlos smokes and drinks but he’s more of a Marlboro and Merlot type of guy and Harry’s a Rum and Cigar kinda lad. ( I’m using cartoon logic and say that those habits are purely aesthetic based of iconography from the original Disney moves, Cruella smokes and Capt. Hook smokes two cigars at once)

Carols isn’t really scared of dogs anymore but when he arrives at Auradon he “befriends” his roommate Chad ( now an animal lover like his mother) who has pet rats and a entourage of wild animals constantly in their dorm, and threatens to shoot and skin them all every single day to make a new line of coats ( when Chad rebuttals that his rats are too small to make coats, Carlos says they’d make the perfect fuzzy gloves 💀) He also uses Chad as a living mannequin for his designs. They have a goofy relationship with each other, Carlos does make Chad do all the dirty work of skinning and draining the animals he hunts but despite how traumatic that is Carlos is a fun sweet guy so it’s okay 💀💀💀.

Jay is jelly of Carlos due to his closeness with Harry. ( I guess the way to Jays heart and respect is by holding him at sword point and threatening to gut him and hang him by those very guts over shark infested waters and watch them nibble away at him 💀)

Next I’ll find up Carlos and do some fit designs then I’ll redesign Jay and tell that gutting story 😛

OC INTRODUCTION!! MOUTHWASHING AU!

HEY ALL! My name is Koda! Me and the rest of my co-workers (I believe) are joining… tumblr? As a way to pass the time on board the ship!.

I am the crew one and only well-being’s officer! I make sure our lovely crew stays in tip top shape mentally and physically!! I often encourage people to join group activities such as; Game names, work out session, therapy and so much more! I hope to talk with alot of cool and awesome people!!

Thanks for checking out my blog! :D

HELLO EVERYONE! Koda’s creator here, you may know me as crypt1c_.v0id on platforms such as Tik Tik, twitter and of recently bluesky! I have created this blog as part of an au project for Mouthwashing! What is this au? Well this au is where a company extension of pony express sends out a search and rescue team to find the tulpar! As I previously mentioned Koda is the crews wellbeing specialist on the musher! (The name of the ship in this au) tho Koda shouldn’t exactly be in charge of others wellbeing’s .

Koda is an enthusiastic people pleaser, being the ripe age of 22, who only got this job because he did “extremely well” on this internship. A LOT of what Koda’s coworkers have seen over from him would be described as a ‘go getting hard worker who never fails to bring a smile to someone’s face!’ But if you asked Koda what he thinks of himself, well, you wouldn’t get a single peep. He goes by He/Him pronouns!

I have a lot planned with this guy so I hope you all can enjoy, until next time!!

[mudboy-eliot]

Heya! Eliot reporting from Gateon Port!

Finally caved in to social pressure and made a Rotomblr blog.

My name is Eliot [they/them], I’m a Ground type specialist by choice and a Poison type specialist by accident.

I recently moved to a small ranch house in Orre, just outside of Gateon. My home region is just south of Orre, but I’ve actually been living in Hoenn for the last few years, so it’s taken me a while to get used to the dry hot weather again.

I love walking through nature, taking pictures and sketching what I see, so expect to see some pictures and sketches from my hikes around here. I often just post my Pokémon sightings to poryNaturalist, so make sure to look there if you’re interested in my wildlife photography. Orre seems to be such an interesting region and I’m really looking forward to explore it.

Feel free to send asks! I’d love to interact with other Pokémon enthusiasts.

Pelipper Mail, Musharna Mail and Union Circle are on

Malice, Unmails and Magic Anons are off

Battle Team:

Kipp [Swampert | Male]: My beloved starter. He is very playful and loyal, he looks out for me and I look out for him. He is as adventurous as I am, so we go out into the wilderness together a lot. He believes he is still lap dog sized despite being almost as tall as me when on all fours.

Nettle [Sandslash | Female | Poison Tera]: Found her on 113 while collecting some ash for a flute. She has gotten us out of many sticky situations, both in and outside of battle. She is very athletic and so very proud of her skills. She has quite a couple poison type moves in her arsenal, but we actually didn’t find out she had a poison tera type until our trip to Paldea.

Flan [Clodsire | Female]: Speaking of my trip to Paldea, that’s where I found this lovely gal. She is such a foodie, I always take her to market so we can try some new berries and regional treats.

Grub [Piloswine | Male]: Got him as an egg from a daycare. Grub is so sweet and clingy you could get cavities. He always wants to play, cuddle or just hang out near you and he will bring to you things he things you’ll like (which are mostly cool rocks and sticks).

Ankles [Flygon | Male]: Caught him in 111 as a Trapinch and my ankles suffered the consequences. I thankfully managed to train him to stop biting and now he just gives soft, playful nips. Despite not being an active threat to everyone’s feet anymore, he is still very sassy and will let you know when he’s displeased in the pettiest of way. Let’s say my shoes have mysteriously disappeared more than once, but it’s all in good fun.

Non-Battlers:

Lily [Glameow | Female]: She’s an old lady, used to be really active and adventurous, but now she just loafs around the house. She’s really sweet, a real cuddle bug. Another Pokémon scratched off the cornea of her left eye before she decided to stay with my family, so now she is half blind.

Katy [Nincada | Female]: One of the first Pokémon I caught. Found her just off of Rustboro while I was running some errands. There was a connection at first sight and I knew I had to catch her. She’s such a little mischievous little imp, always hiding in the greenery or beneath the ground, playing pranks on me and my other Pokémon.

Sephie [Phanpy | Female]: This safari zone cutie has won so many contests. She’s just delightful. She has a knack for theatrics and acrobatics so she basically choreographs her routines herself, I’m mostly just here to help her shine.

Worm [Barboach | Male]: Caught him while fishing near Mauville. He doesn’t really do much, kinda just hangs around in the pond or his tank. He is very cuddly, tho.

Suri [Rockruff | Male]: Such a silly little guy. Raised him since he was a hatchling. He is really rambunctious and very prone to zoomies. When he was very young, he would stand on his hind legs and look around, just like a Watchog.

Nook [Venomoth | Male]: He just kinda appeared one day inside my house as a Venonat. He is very chill, just kinda hanging out in the greenery.

Varo [Grafaiai | Female]: Also caught her on my trip to Paldea. As an artist, I consider her a kindred spirit. She’s the perfect museum partner. She really enjoys surrealist paintings and always tries to replicate them in her murals.

Jack [Clobbopus | Male | Ghost Tera | Anhilape genes]: He came in from Clay’s Pokemon Ranch on Sinnoh and is still trying to adjust. He is very timid, so for now he is living in a box he found on my living room.

Doozy [Skitty | Female | Fiorean variant] Newest arrival! Rescue from Alola.

I didn't want to title this 'Diversity Scorecard For My AU' but. that's kind of what it is fjdkafj;das

Bloom: bi lesbian, autistic (diagnosed). her autism contributes to her feeling a little disconnected from the modern idea of sexuality as a thing you Are, and she relates a lot more to more historical ideas of sexuality as a thing you Do

Stella: pansexual, ADHD (undiagnosed)

Musa: arospec and ace, which separate from but also tangled up with her reluctance to be vulnerable and form bonds

Aisha: lesbiab. oldest sister disorder despite having no siblings (diagnosed)

Flora: Token Heterosexual (in translation) and intersex (in translation). 'intersex' and 'sexual orientation' are not concepts in the same way on Linphea, but she explains herself with those terms off-planet

Tecna: brain: autistic (diagnosed), gender: autistic, sexuality: autistic. she thinks Timmy is hot af and that's all she needs to know

Roxy: trans girl, and like. vaguely aspec but questioning

(specialists and witches under the cut)

Sky: cishet, asshole (diagnosed)

Brandon: WHORE (affectionate)

Timmy: "obviously I'm straight." "but you've been with multiple men??" "you got me there!"

Riven: gay (undiagnosed) autistic (undiagnosed) asshole (diagnosed)

Helia: "who are we to place labels on the infinite complexity of our souls? the vanity! do sponges in the ocean define themselves by where their ghostly clouds of seed come to rest? do stars in the sky sort themselves by what color they shine? how we reduce ourselves by participating in thi

Nabu: I'm actually reneging on him being a trans girl I changed my mind. idk what this guys deal is but I think he's like. heteroflexible

Icy: Mean LesbianTM, not very self-aware about it though

Darcy: Mean BisexualTM, does not feel romantic love, DOES feel romantic hate

Stormy: Dragon AsexualTM, got a touch of the ADHD as well. What is a gender. very panromantic tho imo

Lucy: trans girl, Gay (blanket term) and tbh maybe BPD?

Mirta: literally while writing this post I abruptly started getting powerful transmasc vibes from Mirta. this calls for further research

[jays-supersonic-dynamo]

BLEASE elaborate on lloyd's team!!! (and. huh. fairy-types are the usual counter to dragon-types, nowadays, since ice-types tend to keel over from a flamethrower. why is sora a fairy-type specialist when her mo seems to be protecting dragons at all costs?)

DUDE i’d love to elaborate on lloyd’s team!! its probably the team where i have the most thought on each individual choice LMAO so its the most interesting

- Gallade is Lloyd’s starter, and i think they’re the combo i’ve consistently drawn the most together, lmao. Ralts is a small pokemon with a green bowl cut, so i like the image of itty bitty baby lloyd running around with his ralts and causing trouble, and the two growing up and maturing with each other. also gallade is a sword pokemon, and lloyd is a sword guy. also also gallade just feels like a transmasc pokemon to me . yeah.

- Haxorus is Lloyd’s second pokemon! admittedly haxorus is here because unova is my first and favorite gen. this is a common reason why i choose pokemon actually. but haxorus is also a green dragon pokemon! and it’s shiny form is black… which is a color associated with lloyd’s dad….. my thought is that in between s2 and s3 Garmadon gives Lloyd an egg from his haxorus, and it hatches into an axew that lloyd makes part of his team

- Togekiss is the third! i have a fic outline (that will likely never get written anytime soon, or at all) about this baby, but basically. after s5, Lloyd would have trouble taking care of himself, because of s5. so he’s gifted an egg that hatches into a togepi, and he relearns how to take care of himself for this togepi! i also like the idea of togepi refusing to evolve for a long time — she only evolves into a togetic during s9, and a togekiss sometime after s10. stubborn queen <3

- Sceptile is number four! Lloyd catches him as a grovyle between s7 and s8, and he evolves a season later. ok girl. sceptile is here because he’s green and reptile like, and also because his mega evolution has a secondary dragon type! (and is also the coolest mega of the hoenn starters, who said that? anyway) also. maybe also the blade aesthetic? sceptile can know leaf blade right?

- Whimsicott is number five! all of the ninja have a surprise pokemon added to their team for s11, and whimsicott is that surprise pokemon! i have the weakest reason for why whimsicott is here, he’s green and i like him! (and “energy” or “life” might could probably be argued as reasons for giving lloyd another grass type?) tho i like the suggestion that whimsicott’s here because he looks like a pillow mint, haha

and admittedly, a lot of my teams are chosen for pretty surface-level reasons — initially i just had one pokemon for sora, just like arin’s one pokemon, and it was Sylveon. because sylveon matches her colors really strongly, and is a catlike pokemon heavily associated with the colors of the trans flag — it just felt like they fit! dedenne i added last minute because i wanted to pull in something from her being a mechanic and to match sylveon’s typing, so it felt really good!

ur not the first person to point this out, you’re right!! i think some dragon pokemon on her team would make sense too — my thoughts for candidates would be altaria, the goomy line, or dratini/dragonair. i feel like she’d go for more cutesy pokemon, but idk, thats usually the pokes i go for too

[sassyshin]

Favorite AK Operators atm

Vanguard: I love Courier he's my fave, Chiave as well. There is something about Flametail's design that I really like but cant tell what it is so far tho. Also Crabs lady I wanna be friends with her

[kirinda-ondo]

*holds a microphone up to you* I am curious about your DBZ ocs, tell me a little bit about them pretty please?

Hi yes hello I literally never got a notification for this!

I have 4 of them! Technically 5 but we don't talk about Dear Goo Boy they came about as a result of my pals @emizel @invizdable and i getting into xenoverse 2.

There's Cayenne, a normal ass human teen that dreams of kicking Gonku's (read: Goku's) ass because she's sick and tired of the Z fighters (namely the saiyans tbh) blowing shit up because it personally inconveniences her. She doesn't have a hope in hell, but she's too stupid to quit. But what she lacks in brains and actual fighting technique she makes up for in spirit and YELLING REALLY FUCKING LOUD ALL THE TIME. She currently lives with Yamcha and his OC family who are all owned by @emizel. She also has a hella android Time Patroller girlfriend (who is also owned by @emizel). She's mostly on the sidelines these days because she's already kind of living her best life rn, but she's got character development on the horizon tho, someday...

Bragi, my fucking beloved, self-proclaimed Best Boy Ever, is a prodigy Supreme Kai attendant in training from Universe 5 that got grounded to U7 for being way too full of himself and having generally anti-mortal sentiments. (Read: Zamasu behavior). Now he's working in Time Patrol as a janitor "Maintenace Specialist." Thanks to the power of friendship and forcing him to deal with his trauma and a literal Good Noodle Star system, he's a lot nicer now (though still really fully of himself). These days he's busy being adopted by a little majin Karen(TM) with a :3 face and her human kinda sorta younger sister (who are owned by @invizdable) and kind of doesn't want to go home anymore. Uh-oh

Aneas is the West Kai of U5, who basically got the job after being dared to put his name in the lottery for it. He has no idea what he's doing and he's in way over his head (not hard to do because he is Very Short), but it's okay because he has a bunch of (non-sentient) plants to talk to and also a lovely wife (who is a former war criminal and apprentice of Towa who also belongs to @emizel) and their son (who is also literally just a plant). They're both just dumb teen(equivalent)s at the end of the day but they love each other very much. You have to be niceys to him. All the horrible plot things keep happening at his house for some reason--

Tomor is also a shinjin/core person/fruitboy from U5 but he's just a tea farmer. He was friends with Bragi and Aneas as kids but they drifted apart after Bragi went hurtling down the gifted kid burnout pipeline and Aneas got the job Tomor dared him to "apply" for. He'd like to get the gang back together but they've kind of outgrown his rude, immature class clown tendencies. Also he's kind of a Republican which does not fucking help-- He sucks (affectionate) (derogatory).

I have a hot sexy sideblog called @sadfruitthreatre and you can read more about these guys (and all the guys surrounding them) in my intros tag! (or any of my other tags if u feel like, there's a masterpost pinned)

[enchanted-traveler-mangablog]

here are the initial little expression sketches for azuko (or anzu, i'm still thinking)

he's a pretty cool guy, he has a lot of cool features to his design and most of them have their little stories and i like when a character has that. he has a fake tooth that got dyed blue cause azuko drank too much blue heavily dyed soda, and so yeah. one of the teeth is like bright blue. gonna add that soda in the narrative somehow there could be a super fun possibility for like a filler plotline. don't wanna pull a gege akutami and only focus on the plot, so i'm thinking about little dumb subplots and silly situations that could still be inteersting and only somewhat with stakes.

i have a well thought out hard magic system for this manga, but i still struggle with the actual plot. i still haven't fully decided on the range of topics i'd like to explore, but it's first and foremost going to be about a sibling bond (azuko has a brother and he's actually fire) and about, kinda, little people against the government and the system? because i really like that stuff, it inspires me. just silly little guys against evil. fuck yeah

i'm thinking of giving azuko or his bro the aesthetics of like a typical punk guy, cause i really loved spiderpunk in the last spiderverse. it may be silly, cause i'm not a big specialist on punks and this whole thing for now is just vibes. but i'll do my research and hope for the best!

my main inspiration (and actually something that i would like to subvert) is actually jujutsu kaisen. i love that manga, i love the characters, and i've been thinking about a lot of things in it non-stop for the past like seven months. i want azuko to be kind of the opposite of gojo satoru in a sense? not even opposite, rather a subversion of a character like that. see, gojo is, despite his incredible powers, actually very subjective and short-sighted, and he relies on said powers a lot while trying to reform the jujutsu society. i want azuko to be different. i want him to also have fun with his powers, but be hyper-aware of what he does. he will still be kind of a dork like gojo is (it seems ti be unavoidable while creating a fun quirky character. but i wil work on it) because this "dork" facade is actually an insanely good way to cope with the horrors of reality. aaand azuko isn't really as much of an ikemen as gojo (tho i kinda want to give him some of his "rizz" moments just for fun). but yeah i want him to be a little based off of gojo, because i just. i like gojo a lot. i want a piece of gojo in my manga

[shinra-makonoid]

I've been watching a French youtube show about dogs. I'm not a fan of dogs at all, tho I am more and more seeing the appeal. I'm a bit afraid of big dogs because when I was a little kid we had a big dog and he was not trained well by my family at all and ended up biting someone (my father being an abusive piece of shit I do not want to think about how he was treated :)))) and they took him away. Having a dog in general is a project, it's like a little kid, you can't just take it and let it live like a cat, it's annoying to think how careless they were. I don't understand people like this frankly.

Anyway, this show is mainly about difficult dogs, how to rehabilitate them so that their owners can have a normal life with them again. Some might bite, some might be awfully scared of everything, etc etc. A lot of ""dog specialists"" are actually animal abusers here I realized, but the guy who does the show is a real dog specialist. And it turns out, just like with people, dogs only need kindness, safety, respect and a real tangible purpose, to be happy. In his show, in 5 days, a dog who would try to bite people, agressive, scared and "crazy" would turn into a good boy/girl and happy to just be with their owner or requesting love from them. It warms my heart everytime.

[charmixpower]

@renfricrey

That's v true in the case of Bloom, but like up to s3 from what I've seen the drama is always caused by the guys? Brandon&Sky lying about their names, Tecna being fed up that Timmy was acting like a coward, Nabu...being a fucking weirdo, (Flora and Helia being the exception bc Flora's problem was she was too shy); which I think might be worse?? Now that I'm looking back I can't remember a relationship fight that was caused by one of the girls? (Tho my memory is notoriously shitty) Unless you count Tecna struggling to understand that Timmy is not a coward (which was a weird ep bc Timmy's personality and the specialists opinions of him randomly pivoted for this plot line)

Interesting point!!

Musa's flaws in the relationship are DEFINITELY unintentional. If you look at the framing the camera and story uses around all Rivusa's fights (up to s3 bc I haven't gotten to s4 yet, but like it's a pattern that I'm fairly sure continues), it's made very clear that it's always Riven's fault. Which I am forever salty about

Musa's attraction to s1 Riven was so fucking out of no where and utterly unexplained that the only reasonable explanation I could come up with is "Musa has the most fucked up view of relationships bc she read too many shitty YA novels, and watched too many toxic as hell movies" but the fact that her mom also wasn't there to like...stop her, and her dad reacting so violently, is such a good point... Girl never got the chance to develop an healthy idea of relationships and probably gravitated to the books to renforce this idea instead of created

YES YES YES YES YES YES

Riven starts therepy at the end of s1 bc Darcy trauma, and by s3 he still has shit he needs to work on but he's worked really hard on himself and has utterly shunted all of his shitty behaviors out of his normal modus operandi has been my hc since the beginning

Musa causing problems bc she doesn't know how to maintain a healthy relationship after Riven starts working on himself is like, everything to me

Especially Riven being able to point this stuff out and help her bc he's been there???? *Chef's kiss*

I think an interesting problem for them to tackle would be that Musa wanted to date Riven when she knew absolutely nothing about him, and she still barely knows anything about him—while Riven fell in love with Musa and her hobbies and is at least slightly knowledgeable about what's going on in her life

It would be a fun moment for them to realize this, and then have Riven realize that he was so fucking preoccupied with his issues his whole life he never really developed hobbies and interests?? So they hang out and do shit together and it's super cute while Riven finds himself and Musa learns more about him

Also it would be really funny if Musa was hit with a "I love him" "you dont know him" from one of her friends (Aisha? Tecna.) Got pissed, then went "OH SHIT YOU RIGHT"

Riven pointing this out to her would make it into a real "relationship issue™️" but I think that is really funny so-

Another interesting problem for their relationship (thats more of a problem than a reason to think about Rivusa fluff in my free time) is Musa actively getting upset when Riven gets rid of his shitty behaviors bc that's what she thought was a good thing, and Riven deadass going "Hey if your going to fuck up my recovery we're going have to break up, bc I refuse to be dragged back into that mindset" and Musa panics bc OOPS SOMEONE HAS A LOT OF TOXIC IDEAS TO UNLEARN

And then Riven convinces Musa to go to therepy or something—or they just talk about like what he's learned about healthy relationships from his therapist and they set some boundaries like a good couple :))))

Actually these could lead into eachother

What would be really funny, is that after all this work Rivusa is the one of the most stable couples bc they've spend all this time doing the work to make sure that their relationship isn't built on a rocky foundation but like a fuck ton of honest conversations, mutual respect, and boundaries

The image of Rivusa watching others relationship drama and just going "talk to eachother" "also: try therepy for all the unresolved issues you have going on" "that too" is too funny to me

(I think about these two wayyyy too fucking much lord have mercy)

I have not gotten to s4 yet, so I do not know who this Jason is, but I'll take your word for it

Local happy couple kick the ass of someone trying to hurt Musa? Love it

Oh and Riven with the Darcy trauma fucking INSTANTLY noticing all the manipulation techniques and everything going on—plus him helping Musa get back on stable ground afterwards bc he's been there so he knows exactly how to help??? Yes yes, their amazing your honor

You just watched the potc for the first time FEEDBACK ??

HELLO yes I have finally watched it. After many years and watching half of the first movie like three times. I watched the pirate movies.

Here are some extensive thoughts for you while I avoid my current anxiety and responsibilities:

Overall?? They’re just. Okay. Like idk they’re alright. I liked them, like they weren’t bad, I just didn’t feel any strong emotions for most of it?? They were solidly okay. Sorry to the potc mega enjoyers rip

but since I’m bored and I love rambling here are some thoughts on the characters:

will - constantly serving looks but maintains the personality of a piece of white bread. sorry will like I’m sure there’s just some real depth there that I just didn’t care to search for but idc. he’s not rlly my type of guy and I knew that going into it, whatever. shout out to Orlando Bloom for being very pretty tho.

elizabeth - ohhhhh my goddd ohhh my god keira knightley is so pretty jesus fuck lord in heaven. I was literally just staring at her in every scene. god. no but seriously I liked her character a lot more than I thought I would!! Not that I thought I wouldn’t like her but I just figured I’d focus a lot more on Jack instead, but I was actually super into her she is thee only valid bitch in this whole movie series. I’m so mad that she just became king of pirates and then?? went home or something?? unrealistic. she should be the captain of the black pearl and rule all pirates, duh. no men are worthy of her actually.

jack - ohhh boy. let me tell you despite never watching these movies I STILL had such a massive crush on this guy when I was younger. he was like, the pinnacle of attractiveness in my mind. honestly my feelings haven’t changed much, I remain weak for smudgy black eyeliner. however?? actually liked him slightly less than I thought I would??? Idk I figured I would be super obsessed with him and nobody else but, eh. the thing about him is that like, I know that being unpredictable and morally grey is literally his whole thing, but it just kind of got boring after a while?? don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with characters who are backstabbing selfish little shits, I have a lot of experience with them, but in this case it just felt rlly tiring. I knowwwww we’re not really supposed to know what’s up with him but I think he could have used just a little bit more grounding as far as letting us into his head for like, five seconds. it just kind of felt like the writers were rolling dice as far as when he betrays people and when he decides to be a good guy out of the blue?? I never felt like I knew where he stood or what his motivations were. Again, I know that’s kind of the point, but, idk, the balance felt off to me. That’s just my opinion tho.

related point to another thing that didn’t really bug me per se but just felt funny - everyone’s undying loyalty to Jack that seems to just come out of nowhere??? I just felt like every single movie had the same thing where like, Jack is a selfish little shit who goes behind everyone’s back for 85% of the movie - maybe he does maybe one (1) good thing at some point - but then at the end of the movie everyone’s like ‘I would literally go to the ends of the earth to save this man’ and I’m just like??? Why????? What did he do for you besides like one good thing among many many annoying things? Don’t get me wrong, I do like Jack a lot, but as far as the actual characters in the movies, their motivation to follow this man into death felt kind of random. I felt like all of these movies were trying to sell Jack Sparrow to me as the Specialist Most Smart Amazing Man Ever but in truth he was just kind of some guy. idk. that was just amusing to me.

other miscellaneous thoughts:

Davy Jones is cool I was rooting for him a lot in the end :) honestly the entirety of the third movie I was just like CAN WE PLS GIVE HIM HIS HEART BACK ALREADY GIVE THE MAN A BREAK lmao. kind of wish he had a nicer ending tho :(((

Norrington was… there. Idk, I don’t have any really strong feelings about him, but I did like him in his final scenes. I can definitely see how he would be someone you could grow to appreciate a lot more after a few viewings.

I know Disney made them but I swear these movies could not pick a genre. One second it’s Scary Serious Pirate movie and the next it’s all kid humor, idk, I feel like they should have just gone with one or the other. I know that’s kind of their whole thing but it didn’t work for me personally.

That one fucking music bit. Not like the pirate music everyone always puts in memes but another bit. I can’t name a specific scene but god it slaps so hard. Every time it came on I ascended to another plane of existence.

The Black Pearl is so pretty <3 that’s it that’s the thought

Also fun fact about me - part of the reason I did not watch these movies for a while was bc I was rlly scared to watch them when I was younger, bc when I was a wee kid I accidentally walked in on a rlly creepy disturbing bit with Davy Jones while someone else was watching it and it rlly freaked me out. Honestly valid of little Sunny tho having watched that scene now again - shit really was gross. Especially for baby me :( that’s ok tho bc now I am strong 💪 and actually rlly enjoyed Davy Jones

sorry my feedback was mostly ranting I swear I did not hate these movies. I liked them and I felt very very bisexual while watching it 😳 but I am probably not going to watch the last two movies tho bc why did they even make more. I’m sure they are not that good.

"The Demon Brothers as Volleyball Players" Obey me! Headcanons

☁ Yes, my knowledge comes only from Haikyuu and what I have read online. Am I sorry for that? No, I'm probably not because it was really fun.

I was going back and forth about their positions so if you have other ideas I would love to hear them (with explanations) ^^

──────────────────────────────

Lucifer [opposite hitter/captain]

As an opposite hitter, Lucifer takes care of offense as well as defense,

A perfect role for the strongest of the bros,

Thanks to his strength and quick response time he is able to receive powerful and difficult balls,

He's merciless during practice and games, keeping everyone focused and in line,

He finds the most creative punishments when the team misbehaves and slacks off,

But he's not the embodiment of evil - he treats everyone to dinner after a well-played match.

Mammon [outside hitter/ace/vice-captain]

He loves being the center of attention so this role suits him perfectly,

You can say a lot of things about him but he's the one Lucifer trusts the most, which makes their synergy nearly perfect (they still maintain the same brotherly dynamic tho),

He's not someone who would think through every move so he usually hits following his intuition but he recompenses in strength, his spikes could kill somebody for sure,

As a vice-captain, he's always trying to raise the spirits of his teammates, which helps to create balance with Lucifer's strictness.

Leviathan [middle blocker]

He's not the tallest out of his brothers but he's still a huge guy with very long arms and great speed which makes him a powerful middle blocker,

It's the best position for him because of his tendency to blame himself,

Even when his fingers just slightly brush the ball, it can give a lot of time for other teammates to try and receive the ball.

Satan [setter]

He's got everything that makes a great setter; he's intelligent, resistant to stress, can think under pressure and he's quick,

He's the backbone of the team with an ability to draw the best out of each player,

He comes out with the best strategies,

Even with all of his great qualities he has to be switched from time to time (usually with Asmo),

When he starts getting angry as a frustrating game goes on he starts making bad decisions, trying to piss off his rivals which usually backfires.

Asmodeus [defensive specialist/server]

Although he didn't master any position, he's quick to adapt and can either spike or receive the ball if necessary,

His outgoing personality also makes it easy to create synergy with other players,

Most of the time he sits in the dugout and doesn't play in the main squad but often gets switched to serve which is his strongest quality,

He has great control over the ball and unexpected strength, making his serves really hard to receive,

He's the fans favorite who often cheer and scream when he enters the court,

He's also in charge of the team's social media accounts.

Beelzebub [libero/middle blocker]

As a middle blocker, he creates a stone wall that's almost impossible to break thanks to his height and big palms,

But his main role is a libero,

The team puts huge trust in this position that's why Beel is the perfect fit for it,

He may not be the fastest libero but he recompenses that with his strength and stamina.

Belphegor [outside hitter/bait]

Even tho he's also an outside hitter (like Mammon), he doesn't spike that much during the match and does it only when necessary (mostly because his stamina isn't that great),

He's a real pain in the ass to play against because of his smug and cocky personality,

His role comes down to annoying the other team (which is very successful) and drawing their attention away from Mammon to help him get a clear area to spike,

Because he gets tired quickly he usually gets switched with Asmo when the game goes on for too long for him to handle.

Hcs with Riku and G/N Reader who suffers from anxiety?

Again, I'm fortunate enough to not be living with any kind of anxiety disorder so I'm personally inexperienced, but I'll try my best to portray this experience. I added a little to do with panic attacks just to offer a little bit more help. And my first Riku ask- I used to live off of the one song of David Gallagher's 'cause I really loved Riku. (think all that love was really just relating to him tho lol) Enjoy!

Riku helping a Reader with an anxiety disorder (+ panic attacks)

So, Riku is probably the guy to go to with sort of issue. Others can be loud, too pushy and pressing with too many intrusive questions...but Riku understands. He knows the value of comfortable silence.

Riku understands the experience of having too much noise, too many noises in one's head that can spark intrusive thoughts - dark thoughts that make everything seem like it's all for nothing, that every single eye is on you, that those disembodied eyes are judging you...having your body possessed, being manipulated your life, and spending a lot of time in the Realm of Darkness will do that to a boy.

He doesn't need to know why you feel like this or what spawned this darkness in you because, as harsh as it may sound, Riku doesn't care. But, hear him out, this isn't because he doesn't care for your well-being - quite the opposite, actually: whatever it was, Riku would care for you just the same either way.

He knows that being asked directly about such things can be painful, raking out memories of dark pasts and terrifying events in one's history whether that be a diagnosis that came at a bad time and ended up being extremely scary, or painful events that you'd rather not remember.

Either way, Riku will sit as close or as far to you as you want, quietly talking you to ground you into reality, reminding you of what's real, and what's just the darkness making conjecture in your mind. He won't let it take a hold of you and crush you. He's going to use his own experiences and your closeness as friends as the strength he has to protect what matters: you.

Terra's phrase stays with him every step of the way for your time together. It stays with him as he escorts you to and helps you with any kind of therapy he recommends or when he reminds you to take any specialist medication you've been prescribed. His wellness of mind and adoration for you is his strength and you are what matters to him.

His been through his own therapy sessions, so can help with perhaps guided self-help and is a major contributor to any kind of cognitive behavioural therapy - helping to remind you that these anxious thoughts are an overemphasised version of really quite minor problems in your life, and then helping you to solve these problems.

But, if you're particularly in a slump and really cannot being yourself to say go outside or talk to anyone, Riku is happy to step in and, say, do your shopping for you or politely cancel plans for you. He won't tell them outright that you're suffering from any kind of disorder, but just tells them "They don't feel like it right now, maybe another time."

If you happen to have a panic attack, Riku has been through enough and helped others with enough to know what you need. He's cool, calm, and collected, able to sit you down and tell you that he's there. He reminds you that it won't last long and will pass as long as you let him help keep you safe. He'll remember if you ever told him about any kind of coping mechanisms you might have and help you with that. For him, it's the sound of waves (even someone imitating it is enough,) so he might try that if you can't communicate your needs. If you need space, he's fine with that too, but Riku refuses to leave you alone like this.

If grounding techniques help, he'll try those. Skin-to-skin contact, touching the environment around you, reminders that an panic attack will pass, etc.
